Today is my 1 year bandiversary!!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited today (7/16) to have completed my first year with Chrissy (my band).:sad: It has not been all peaches and cream but with anything you have to make changes. The band has required me to change what I eat, how much and the importance of exercise. When I have done all of those things consistently--- I have lost weight.

I'm plateau now and trying to lose an additional 20 lbs. But to be honest I'm so happy with my accomplishments thus far, losing the additional lbs are not priority but it will be a bonus. To date I have lost 65 lbs which is more than 65% of my excess weight. I have dropped from a size 18/20 to now 10/12. I FEEL SO GOOD ABOUT MYSELF!!!

Good luck to everyone!!!!

      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.
