Halfway There!!!



Recommended Posts

So, I realized today as I was updating my ticker, that I'm 1/2 way there to my initial goal of 170 lbs. I never EVER thought I would even be able to say that I'm halfway there. I never thought I'd see 225 again, let alone be 26 pounds away from ONEderland. Just to think that at the beginning of this year, I was 20 lbs away from 300. Now, I'm almost 200. It's amazing.

Having the band is the best decision I've ever made for myself. I am not kidding. I'm still amazed at how wonderful this tool is, how beneficial it has been meeting with a nutritionist and trying to change my habits, and how much BETTER I feel.

Now, to kick start everything into high gear and get these next 55 lbs off. I know it can happen - I've done the first 55 and I see so many successful bandsters on here. I'll do it one day. It might not be tomorrow, but it will be sometime.

I just had to post my excitement and thank everyone here for their support on this forum. It's the best place and I feel like we're all one big family doing this together. :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.
