Recommended Posts

so... i guess i'm in shock. i mean, i knew that the band was a great thing, but i guess i just didn't realize how quickly it would actually make something happen. my band is not even two weeks old yet and i've already lost 9 pounds! 9 pounds! i'm just like wow! i know that it has a lot to do with me still being on the liquids stage but i'm just so happy to finally see the scale moving and had to share. i was worried that i might get the band and never see anything happen or it'd take forever to see something happen. granted, i haven't noticed anything in the way my clothes fit really yet but the numbers on the scale are moving in the right direction! yay!!!! :smile:

YEAH!!!! CONGRATS!!! Meeeee tooooooo :-)

I was banded 3/11 and this morning i was down 9.5lbs!! Just keep it coming.

My dying of hunger has subsided a little..tomorrow i get to start mushies!!! YAY I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to eat actual food!!!!!

I am a little scared of gaining during the mushy stage and into full blown eating. I hope it continues to come off for both of us! We should exchange email addresses so we can keep up with one another since our band date was so close!!

      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.
