My Bandversay and I need help



Recommended Posts

So, my one year bandversary is tomorrow.

I have to say i am very glad that I made this choice, however i have missed my one year goal by 12 pounds :smile2:

I know it is of my own doing,,,, I do well all day, protien shake for Breakfast, usually not hungry for lunch so a small salad or yogurt or a cheese stick does the trick.. but after work when i get home -- i get the muchies and then eat too much dinner.< /p>

I need a fill and will be getting on on the 26th.

I am so close to goal only another 45 or so how do you keep your resolve for this last little bit,, i cant seem to find it.. and I am just wasting time maintaing my weight when could be losing the rest,

some please kick my ass

Whillow...Bend over!!! Honestly, stop kicking yourself. 12lbs? Set a new goal. 12lbs by Christmas.

If you are hungry b/4 dinner, try eating something healthy and tell yourself that absolutely NOTHING besides carrots, celery, any raw veggie or fruit. I know that when I was in the weightloss stage, that time of the day and a couple of hours after dinner were the worst for hunger.

I would stave it off by making a cup of coffee with a packet of LF Swiss Miss, add a little SF flavoring and sip. It really did help when I was famished (or thought I was. Also, Alpine makes a really good SF apple cider. Try something like that and see if it works. Good luck!

Are you excersising? That was key for me to get the last of the weight off. My weight loss would stall and I would increase the intensity of the workout and boom, the scale would start moving again. There are just too many benefits to excersise to not do it. You can do it!

      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.
