Encouraging Words Needed



Recommended Posts

I was banded on June 19, 2009 and I lost 35lbs pretty quickly. 3 months ago I was up to 7cc's and got something stuck and had all but 1cc taken out to allow it to pass through.

Today I had a fill and am back up to 6.5cc's but I have not lost 1lb since I had all my Fluid taken out. Partly it is my fault because I was upset I had to have everything taken out so I really was not exercising much. But, my inability to control my food addiction came right back when I had all that fluid taken out. I couldn't control my head hunger. That is when I realized that this band actually does DO A LOT!!!

I did start back to the gym last week and have been really consistent with going, and I am feeling really good. I am starting to feel a little restriction again which feels amazing and I am so excited to get back on the weight loss train again after an extended 3 month "vacation".

I guess I am telling you all this because it feels really good to be honest about what is happening to me and I am just hoping there are some people out there with words of encouragement, because Lord knows I could use them!! Thanks guys!!! :smile2:

Hi Breeane! I went through a little time off too. Well, okay more like a year's time off. I gained some but I'm losing again because I'm back to being a good bandster.

You can definitely get that feeling back that is so important to weight loss. I'm positive that once you set some goals in place, however small they may be at one time, you will find that flame grow inside again.

      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.
