How are December Bandster's Doing?



Recommended Posts

I was banded Dec 3rd and have lost 34 pounds. Just wanting to see how everyone else is doing. I excersise 4-5 times a week. Watch what I eat, but I do cheat with an occasional cookie or ice cream. Hope all Dec Bandster's are doing well!

I hope this fill works I now have 6cc in the band and 1cc in the tubing???? in a 10cc band. Good luck to you it sounds like you are doing great.

Hello, i was banded on 12/23/2009 and have lost about 37 pounds. I have had three fills so far and hopefully will hit my sweet spot with this next fill on 6/7/2010. Sweets were a big problem for me about two months ago but now i use chocolate Protein Shakes or strawberries and whip cream to help me out. I like the fact that I can eat anything I want and not get sick. It really is helping me make the right food choices because when i do I can lose about 3-4 pounds a week.

I was banded on December 17th and have lost 67 lbs so far. I am a lot more active and try to workout 3-4 times a week. I wish I was more diligent about my workout routine though. My food's under control but the gym is still a chore :o I've had a number of fills.. my doc does them in small increments about every 4 weeks or so. I'm currently at 5.25 ccs and feel great.

All the best to everyone.

Lauren

      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.
