Recommended Posts

I'm coming up on my three year "anniversary"

has anyone been banded for awhile? It'd be cool to find some people in the same boat as me!

Thanks : )

I will be at 2 years on Sept 30th. I'm getting there slowly. Would love to lose 30 more but would be happy with 20.

i was a lot closer to my goal a year ago, but i gained some weight back. I'm trying to get back on track. I thought I would be at my goal by now, but I'm not going to let that get me down!

Thanks for all the replies : )

It'd be nice to chat with you guys sometime!

How did you did you get yourself back to losing. I am about 2 1/2 yrs. out and lost about 48 lbs., but have slowly gained back about 15 pounds. Very discouraged. Still can't eat much, but seem to be able to gain.

I am just over three years out, lost about 80 pounds and want to lose 40 more. It does get harder with time and I need to get in and get a fill, as I have lost some focus. But I am not gaining, so this is better than any diet I have ever been on. Went from size 24 to 14-16, and basically feeling ten times better.

I am about 2 1/2 years out. Not quite to goal, but maintaining my loss with ease.

Also not sure what I want my goal to be, maybe I am there! I am at a normal BMI and my blood work is good, yay!

My problem is I still have restriction, but I'm not losing anymore. So I don't think a fill would be good for me. So I don't really know why my weight loss stopped.

      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.
