5 Weeks Tomorrow and the scale finally moved in right direction



Recommended Posts

So I will be 5 weeks tomorrow, fill is scheduled for next wedensday. But had a small victory today and the scale finally moved in the right direction. Have been messing around with the same 2 lbs for the last 3 weeks.

I think I have been losing inches because my clothes are alot loser and people are starting to comment at work. And I passed the 220 mark, was down to 219.2 this morning. I have kicked up my walking and pace and I think that is helping. Starting after next week, I want to start Zumba and I am very excited about that because it looks so fun.

My goals for right now are to start getting mentally prepared to be a bandster with a fill. I still strugle with drinking while eating (getting a little better) Also I think I am eating to fast, because I tend to get a stuck feeling eating certain things and I am really scared to do that next week with my first fill.

Anyway, just wanted to check in with small little victory. Hehe, funny I am excited about a two pounds. But I will take what I can get. And I feel really good. I dont know if it is the band and the small amount of weight so far or that I have cut out soda, but which ever it is I feel really good.

:D Hope all is well with all the other April 2011 bandsters

2 pounds is something to celebrate! Good job. You are doing great. You seem to be preparing in your mind for when you have restriction, I think that is really good.

      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.
