Hello Everyone!

It's been quite a while since I've checked in here and I realized I've missed it! I am wondering if anyone else has trouble with cold stuff. Anything ice cold gets stuck! I mean anything....even water! I find myself having to drink room temp drinks. Right now I'm fighting sliming with one teaspoon of yogurt!! I take that back...icecream or popsicles go down fine.

I haven't had a fill in 7 weeks and was supposed to go 2 days ago but I put it off for this reason. I have very little trouble with everything else....within reason.

Any wisdom on this????????

Shelly

I have the same problem. I can not drink cold drinks from the refrigerator. I have to let it get room temperature. Also if my food gets to cold I can not eat. If I try and reheat it with the microwave it won't go down. Yes I can eat ice cream and ice pops with no problem at all. Curious to hear what others have to say about it also. I was banded a month after you 9/22/10. How is your weight loss? I have lost 80 lbs.

CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so proud of you!

I began this journey as a low BMI bandster. I started at 175lbs wearing a sz 14 (too tight) or a 16. I am currently at 140lbs and can wear a sz 6 or 8 depending on how its made. I truly thought this would be a lot faster for me but my Dr keeps telling me I'm right on track percentage wise. He says I should be 120lbs but honestly I'll be 100% thrilled at 130! I've only lost a couple pounds a month for the past few months. I'm not complaining because normally I would be back on the uphill climb of the weight rollercoaster I have been on my entire life.

Keep up the good work!

Congratulations to you too. My BMI was 51, now it is down just under 40. So I do feel good. As for you the slower you lose it, the longer you will keep it off. I am in a 16 now, trying to get to size 14 before my 1 year anniversary. I got to incorporate exercising. I really hate to exercise. I was starting to walk more, but in NY we have heat advisories going on for the next few days, since I am asthamatic I won't be walking outside much.

      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.
