One Month Bandiversary!!



Recommended Posts

Hooray! I can't believe it's already my one month 'bandiversary!' So much has changed for me since getting my band! First of all, I've not been on here much this week because my partner and I moved back into Eugene from Junction City, Oregon; and we're much happier. We're right next to a beautiful running trail, and we can walk to do many of our errands. My next goal is to be able to ride a bicycle again! I'm really looking forward to it, but I'm a little nervous.

So since the surgery I've lost 35 pounds. I haven't been exercising much this week, but I've been moving a lot of heavy things and sweating that way! Whew! Moving is tiring. I feel pretty good! My scars are healing well, and I don't have any pain at all. I haven't had any stuck episodes. I am, however, feeling less restriction than I have the other weeks. At first I was pretty certain that I might not need a fill, but I think I probably will. I am still eating the amount that I'm supposed to, but I'm feeling REALLY HUNGRY a lot of the time. I guess I'm really in bandster hell right now. I am still eating mushies, but I suspect that my diet will be upgraded at my post-op appointment in a couple of weeks. I must say that I've never been this creative about what I'm eating as I am now... otherwise I think I'd be beyond sick of the mushies at this point. I laugh because I was so excited to get to the mushie stage, and now I'm getting pretty tired of it. :P

My goal for next month is a BMI in the 30s and to get on that bicycle.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!!

      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.
