Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to share an update I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything. I went for my apponitment yesterday I am a few days shy of my 3rd month post op. I have been losing slowly in all since my procedure I have lost 30 pounds. I have a total of 4 cc in my band I finally ask my dr. I must share with everyone I am soo glad I decided to have the band done.

In all since I have been trying to lose with these past two years off and on. I was reflecting back to my weight and so far I have lost 61 pounds. I look forward to keep moving in the right direction. :smile:

Mike,

Thank you, I am still learning as far what I can and can not eat. For the most part I can eat about a cup to a cup and a half. I tend to get full fast so I stop once I get that feeling. I have only had one bad experience while eating and I think I just ate it too fast and got stuck. So now I really chew my food well. I just know my eating habits have changed alot I used to drink sodas all the time. It's been since I went for my band consult since I have stayed soda free....lol. well I wish you the best luck I know you will do great.

      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.
