banded for 10 months



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.. I have been banded for 10 months I am proud to say I have lost 42 pounds. (YAY!!!) I have went from a size 18 to a size 10. I love my band...I never thought I would make it.. I thought I would fail with the band like I did with so many weight loss plans. I had a slow start with my band but realized I needed to drink more Protein thats when I started to see a difference.

I hope everyone else is having success with their band.. :thumbup:

AWESOME!!! You should be very proud!!

I have been banded for almost 9 months and I have lost 40 lbs. And I have had only two fills!! Drinking the Protein definitely makes a difference. The band has been a life-saver for me.

Congrats on your weight loss!!!

I've been banded 9 months and have lost 42 lbs too! Mine has been slow, but steady. It seems like recently I have been losing at a better rate. I definately have more restriction now. Good Luck everyone!

Awesome!

I was wondering what your diet looks like? In a day what do you eat? I am 10 days post op and am already on mushies. How do you prefer to get your Protein in? shakes?

Thanks :thumbup:

I'm also 10 months out and I cant believe I have lost 89 lbs. No more insulin, and blood pressure is back to normal, but my absolute biggest pleasure is not having to shop in the big/tall shop any more. I went from a 52 waist to a 44 and from a 3x shirt to xl. Is it really me, I'm pinching myself to make sure. Congrats to all of you for making this work!!!!

I am out 8 months Love Love Love my band (except for its embarassing gurping that it makes when I eat LOL). I a down 65lbs from a tight size 20 to a loose fitting size 14 so far. Congrats to everyone else on your progress!! You are all doing amazing!! I think I a going to start drinking Protein to supplement even though my surgeon is against it. I do not think I am getting enough protein for sure.

Hell there that is good I am 11 months out and have lost 50lbs which I think I would of lost more if I stick to it harder. I have been on a bad track lately, but I am cutting back in the bad habits as we speak. I am going to get my list of foods together and go back to my protien shakes I want to loose another 50lbs to hit that 100lb weight loss.

Oh I haven't been on here in a while I need to update my tickler congrats 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.
