Feb.23rd Peeps!!! Well Feb. Period...



Recommended Posts

I'm just plain stuck--that scale does not want to give me anything. I added 50% more cardio and 100% more repitions for toning. Hopefully the extra 45 minutes of exercise will help. I really wanted to be in the "220"s" when I go for my next fill on Wednesday, but that is not looking promising! I was kind of hoping to be in "Onederland" by July, but I am not quite as hopeful anymore! I guess a plateau after 55 pounds isn't bad, but it is maddening.

patsal, 55# is terrific! I do know how you feel though. When I was stuck for weeks I started thinking this wasn't going to work. I guess our bodies are just finicky. Any day now yours will decide to let go of some more pounds! :)

I was banded on 2/22 and have lost 25 pounds as of yesterday. I think you all are doing great! I've got 5cc in a 10cc band and I've got another fill scheduled for Wednesday. I'm really hoping for some restriction!

It's so nice to hear about what other Feb bandsters are doing. I was banded on 2/15 and have lost 30#. It is SLOW. And it seems that I won't lose any weight for a couple of weeks and then I will suddenly lose 4 or 5lbs and then gain a pound or two back. It's a yo-yo for sure. I have only had one fill. I have a 10cc band with 2cc's in it now. I will get to have another 1.5cc added this Friday. I am living with NO restriction what so ever. It's HARD! I want that sweet spot! You all are doing a GREAT job!!!! :scared2:

      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.
