Another mini goal reached finally......



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone....I know that I havent reached my total goal yet, i have so much to lose that I havent set myself a total goal yet just a series of mini goals, but this one is significant to me.....I was banded in November 09 and have had a total of 4 new ports in the first year of the band so needless to say I have had a lot of setbacks......but I have still been trying really hard the entire time even though its needed a LOT of will power for the times when i go back in for a re op and start again almost from scratch with my fills!!!!!

For anyone who says that this is the easy option, tell them to talk to me and I will let them know how hard it can really be!!!!

Anyway I started at 150 kg (pre band) and have set a lot of mini goals for myself and I am so proud that when i hopped on the scales today I weighed in at 108.5kg.....under 110 I can't believe it!!!! Over 40kg in total lost now and I am so so plesed.....I am now full steam ahead on getting into double figures (under 100kg)

I havent weighed under 110 in over 15 years or more and havent been able to fit into a size 20 jeans since bfore i had children almost 18 years ago

I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!

Thaks for listening :D

Thanks Dave and dk4k....it sure has been a challenge but well worth it......there is no way i could do this without the assistance of my band ;) ....I say assistance becuase I still have to work very hard to try to keep on track and eat the right foods and stop when i am satisfied.

      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.
