nothing new.....



Recommended Posts

I havent posted in a while i have been lurking in the background basically because there is nothing new to post.

I havent gained and I havent lost either which is frustrating in itself.

I probably need a fill after 1 month after my unfill but am afraid to get more put in my band and be back where I was in Nov-Dec getting stuck and throwing up every time I tried to eat.

I have started working out on my "Gazelle" trainer trying to reach 30min a day but that is slow going as well.

Well that's all I really have to report like I said nothing new...Just wish I could start losing lbs again!!!

I know the fear about getting too tight again.. and if you haven't lost any, you are probably right - it's not quite time for a fill.

But keep a plugging at it. It should come off if you follow the bandster guidelines most of the time.

I had to have a slight unfill in May. It took till September to be ready to have it added back.. but when I did get it replaced.. whoa nelly.. it worked really well, lost 14 in 2 months.

Thank you that was very encouraging!!! I needed to be reminded that it's not all about fills and unfills and this can be done!

Have you taken your measurements? Pictures? If not, I'd suggest doing that. Measure yourself and do so again in a month. Take pictures and compare what you look like. Even if the scale isn't moving down, the fact is that it's not moving up, and that is good news! You're doing things right, so keep on going. The scale isn't our only way to measure success. A 23lb loss is great and it's wise that you're hesitant on your fills. So many people aren't and they end up in trouble in the long run.

Keep your head up! The scale will move in time.

      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.
