Im in the 100's and way down on insulin



Recommended Posts

It has been 19 days since surgery and I weigh 197 this band is awsome.We had our family Christmas yesterday and I tryed several outfits from my closet. TOOOOOO BIGGGGG.Thank you God.The most awsome thing is I am down from 65 units of insulin to 10.I love my band.This band has probably saved my life. I was becoming brittle before I found the ambertose that held me till surgery.

After 19 years of diabeties I had diabetic retonopithy and neropthy ( pardon my spelling).I had to have my kidneys checked every three months.

I feel great and my blood sugars are Awsome.I want to get out and walk so I can see my scales each morning go down down down.I have always been large but my belly was a lot bigger than it should have been for my size.Weighing 218 I was in a 42 and it was tight in the stomach. The legs in the pants were to big but I needed that size because of my belly.Saturday I actually bought just a extra large off the rack rather that a 2x. The first thing that went was the double chin and now my belly is melting away.

Friends

Thank you for supporting me when I almost backed out.I do not think I would of had the surgery without your support.

I find it truly incredible how the first 20 pounds gone felt! It's amazing how far your insulin units have gone down, in such a short period of time! Isn't it wonderful?!

      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.
