Happy Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes2: Today is my 3 months Bandiversary. I was banded 3 months ago on Sugust 11, 2010. I feel great and i have lost approximately 30 lbs since my surgery and 52 lbs including my prop diet.

I have a fill appointment on the 15th, not sure if i need it, but i am losing slow but it is working for me!

Happy Bandiversary to all the fellow bandsters who are celebrating 3 mos this week and next week! I hope everyone is having sucess with their bands! If not please, please hand in there, you can do it!!!!:blush:

Congratulations. You are doing great. I don't think 30 pounds in three months is slow at all. Like the poster above noted, that's 10 pounds a month. That is about what I lost a month, and I was very pleased with that. If you are satisfied with your meals/snacks and staying full for 3-4 hours inbetween, I personally don't think you need a fill. Of course, that's up to you and the doctor to decide. Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much guys! Well let me explain "losing slow" each week i do not lose i may go 2-3 weeks before seeing a lose. But 30lbs is adveraged to about 10lbs a month. so yes that is good! I love how you guys help us to see things differently!

Hey, I am doing good:laugh:

About my fills, my portions sizes are pretty good, however i am not full for 3-4 hrs. I may only be full for about 1-2 maybe:crying:

Happy Bandiversary to you and to me -- we share the same surgery date! Looks like you're doing great! I'm at about the same 30 pounds lost since surgery. It's a good thing there are other people around ... I was in the same mindset as you as it's seeming like a slow weight loss but when you look at 10 pounds a month, that's great! Congrats to you and let's keep going on this great journey! :rolleyes2:

      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.
