102 pounds GONE!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I have lost 102 pounds since May 1, 2009! I have been on a very frustrating plateau since a little after Christmas. I also just had to have an unfill due to acid reflux issues but Feb. 2nd I'll be getting filled again and be back on the loosers bench once again! I'm really looking forward to it! 36 more pounds to go!

Congrats!!

You look great and I wouldn't worry about the plateau unless you start gaining weight.

Thanks! I feel great!

I know once I get my fill, I'll start loosing again...it's hard to wait though, I REALLY like seeing that scale move down at least a little bit everyday. Guess I've been pretty spoiled up to now. I am very thankful for what I've lost so far, I love my band! :thumbup:

Hi

I had my lap band done on July 12 last year. But, I am not losing, I can still eat everything. And as much as I want. I have had 3 fills, but I am not tight enough. How do you know if you are full enough? How tight do you feel?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
