Recommended Posts

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.

Well now it's time for The HAPPY DANCE....

Because you have done a wonderful job !

Never look back ! is right ! ! !

You just keep going forward, and keep you ! at # 1,

That;s a Key factor.

So Beautiful Work !

Shirley....

I was banded on 3-28-11 and since then I have lost 32 pounds!!!!! teeth_smile.gif I just went for a check-up on 11/17/11 and I'd lost 6 pounds since my last fill on 10/6/11. I think I've hit my sweet spot for now. I have 4.5 cc's in a 10cc band and I feel great!! I've been working on getting back into the gym 2-3 days a week and it has definetly paid off.

I've gone from a size 22 to a size 18 in pants and I can once again wear Lg shirts. I've gone from using bra extenders to using the most inner hook. It's been an amazing journey so far and I'm so glad I did it. I LOVE MY BAND!!

You all have done an incredible job since your journeys began and I agree you are all an inspiration.

I was banded on November 1,2011 and since then have lost 10 pounds. My total weight lost since pre op diet is 28 pounds. I am excited because I feel empowered from taking this important step. I have did the yo-yo thing for 20 years almost and have watched life like I would know it pass me by but no more. I lost my Mom/best friend last year, three days after the arrival of my first grandson. She struggled with weight issues all of my life and her health suffered because of it. She had the typical weight-related health problems and was diagnosed with colerectal cancer in March 2011...she passed away 2 months later. She always told me to take control of my health and get rid of the weight before it got out of hand...I did not listen then. I hear that advise LOUD AND CLEAR NOW! I will not stop until every unhealthy habit and issue is gone!!! I am glad to have this type of support and will strive to be that in return. Let's do this!!!!

I was banded on October 21st, and I didnt have any pre-op diet with my doc. Since surgery I have lost about 27 lbs and I hit "onederland" the day before Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!! It was something I really gave thanks for :-) And it was all will power since there really isn't any restriction :-) I am thrilled that I survived Thanksgiving! I have my first fill appt on Dec. 6th. I'd love to feel a little restriction! Congrats to all our losers!

      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.
