Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I'm new here . I actually had my surgery back in November 2008. I came here for some much needed encouragement,I've been pretty down lately about my lack of weight loss .

I was almost 300 pounds when I started the program ,now I'm 249. I will post more of my story in another folder. Thank you ! I look forward to getting to know people :thumbup: .

Great job on the weight loss! You should feel proud of losing 50 pounds. Maybe you need a fill?

This is a great place for support!

Thank you Nean for the reply :thumbup: !! I think my issue was that I had too many fills. I'm going to post my story ,I guess in the Post Op section ?? Nice to meet you!

Oh really? Well maybe its time to go in and talk to your doctor and tell him/her what is going on and see if that will help any. If you post it in the post-op most of the people there have the band and maybe give you some tips.

I cant help much with any tips, I dont get banded till 5/17 but I would be so excited to lose 50 pounds! That would be 1/3 of my goal. Look at the up side.

Maybe change up your workout or eating habbits.

Don't start feeling blue- talk to your doctor - and be positive. Start following a low fat diet and throw in some exercise daily. You will continue losing weight and feeling good about yourself. You can do it!!! Don't allow negative thoughts to throw you off! We are all here working hard and cheering on each other to succeed in this battle of obesity - and you will succeed- we are all here for you!! Best wishes!:thumbup:

      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.
