Hello every1, I was banded on July 17 and I had only lost 30 pounds...To me, that was slow but to others it was like a miracle! I was starting to look really good in clothes.

But now, I lost the good feeling. The holidays screwed me ova! Or should I jus say I screwed myself :thumbup: but anyways, Im determined to get right back on track! And I wanted to share my 1 min weight loss pics with every1 because maybe it will motivate some...And I really need some motivation too so if any1 has helpful advice, pics, or videos, please share them with others. Thanks alot :)

I really needed this today. I am 10 days post-op, nausea and most of the pain has passed and now I AM READY TO EAT!!!! I'm physically and mentally hungry and so help me, I don't know how much longer I can take shakes, sugar free pudding and broth! Seeing your progress over time does help! What confidence you obviously have and man, oh, man, I hope someday I can wear something like that animal print mini you've got on! MEEEEE-OW! Very sexy!

I had that problem as well..I kept on drinkin soda only because I knew nothing would happen. I mean, its going to mess up the band if we continue to drink it but while Im drinking it, nothing happens at the moment. Maybe that's something we both can start to change. As with excersizing, I dont really like doing it. But I find that when I go to the gym and take a class, it makes me feel better.

I totally understand what you are going through. I remember when I was post op I was in ALOT of pain so I didnt really care about eating. It wasn until the pain was gone, I would want to eat and I mean EAT!..Your going to be in "bandster hell" and honestly the only way you can get through this is with will power and determination. And I'm glad my video helped! Just keep thinking about the mini animal print dress that you will be wearing real soon! Good luck :confused:

I can give you an alternative to soda. Fill a 2 qt. pitcher with VERY HOT Water. Hang 4 reg. size Lipton tea bags in it and let it seep for a couple hours. Then add 5 sweet n low packets. Fill the rest of the pitcher with ice ........yum.

      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.
