I literally have tears in my eyes.



Recommended Posts

I was just looking through the Before & Afters on here. I'm literally crying. Everyone looks so amazing. I cannot wait to finally be healthier & happier, like all of you.

The reason I originally wanted to post was because I was ecstatic that I'd lost 21 pounds as of today. I'd been stuck in the same 19 pounds lost for the last week or so, & I'd gotten so frustrated. I've been making sure I'm following everything to the "t", & I guess it's paid off. I just weighed myself, & I lost 2 pounds. I'm just so excited.

Seeing all of you that have lost so much weight makes me push myself harder. I want to be one of the success stories. I AM going to be one. I can assure you that.

I go for my first fill on March 10th & I'm even more excited about it now. I cannot wait. I want to lose weight, & I'm determined to lose weight.

Thank you all for being such an inspiration, even though you may not believe you are. Trust me. There are people out there, like me, that need this inspiration to keep going. To motivate myself. To make myself believe that I CAN do this.

Thank you. :biggrin:

You and I had our surgeries just days apart. I was banded on 1/31, so today is 4 weeks post-op. I have lost 23 lbs. so far. I followed my doctor's exact instructions and it is working. Thankfully I am never hungry! I receive my first fill on 3/7. Soon you and I will be posting before & after pics that we can be proud of. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Well, it's good to know I'm not losing slowly, like I thought I was. It just makes me so proud to think I took this step to becoming a better person. I cannot wait to post before & after pictures!

Keep up the good work, too! Good luck on your first fill!! :biggrin:

Hello.

I was banded feb 11/ 10. So we are pretty close... I lost 16 pound the first 2 weeks but last week NONE.. i being on pure diets .. everything i eat now is Fat free.

I was told that i got 2 cc on my band the day I was banded but I don't know if that is restriction or not but i still feeling hungry.

Well I guess we can be point of reference of each other.

      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.
