3 month mark



Recommended Posts

Tomorrow 2/25 marks the 3 month mark since surgery. I've lost 19lbs. 5lbs between surgery and 2/3. 2/3 was my first fill. I go back 3/8 for my next fill.

Things are going well w/ my band, but I'm trying to keep from getting fired from my new job.

This past summer my mom and I were shopping one day and I wanted this denim miniskirt and she told me if I lost 20lbs she would buy it for me, well she bought me one yesterday, I had her buy a size 22, I don't know if I'm out of my 24's and in a 22 yet, but we'll see once the skirt gets here. My jeans are kind of falling off, so I'm hoping the 22 will fit.

Cogratulations on your weight loss and on reaching this post-band milestone. Good luck with that fill, and I hope things work out with your job. Don't let Mom buy all the presents - buy yourself some presents, too. The most important gifts are the ones we give to ourselves, like the one you gave to yourself three months ago...

      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.
