Looking forward to hearing from you all,

Debbie

Debbie, what a great idea to post this! Us feb 09 bandsters may not post much but we're definitely here.

I haven't had much success yet with my band, but I think it because I haven't reached that key fill level. I've been a painfully slow loser, and haven't really lost more that 5 or so pounds since June. Hopefully that will change soon. Admittedly, I still do the whole emotional eating thing once in a while, but far less than I ever did a year ago. So I guess that's a score for me.

I can't wait to hear from other Fabulous February Bandsters!

Babe, those are five pounds you won't see again, and no matter how small the weight loss seems, it's still a victory! So good for you!

I haven't lost as much as I'd hoped too, either, because like you, I haven't always made the best food choices. But you know what? I'm still glad I have this band; it's the best thing I could have done for myself. Besides, there are always those nonscale victories.

ButterflyGrl, I feel the same way. I haven't lost as much as I'd hoped to by this time, but I'm glad I got banded!

Saahney, I know it's been a while, but how did your fill go?

Debbie

      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.
