Recommended Posts

I was banded on 10/11/11 and I've lost 26lbs since the pre-op diet began. I'm down two pants sizes and one shirt size so far! :)

Only within the past few days have I begun to feel hunger. No fills yet, my first scheduled fill is 12/7/11

I was banded October 18, 2011 - they had me on South Beach prior to the banding - I lost 18 pounds on that; and have lost another 20 since the banding. I'm very excited. And congratulations to everyone else - keep up the good work.

From the start of my one week pre op diet, I am down 64.2#. I am down from 3XL scrubs, to a size large scrubs. I am down from (I think) a size 24 jeans to a size 12.

From my highest weight of 308 lb in like 2002, I have lost 125.6 #, that's a whole person! I looked back at a picture at my highest weight and was like WTF did I do to myself. Also a picture of me the day before starting my pre op diet, I wanted to vomit. I will never turn back. I feel 1000 times better about myself.

I was banded 10/03/11 and I'm down a total of 75lbs from when I started in August 2010. That includes losing weight prior to pre op, pre op, and now post op. No fills, still not hungry. I have to remind myself to eat and when I do, it is Protein and low carb foods. Score!!!

      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.
