July 2011 Bandsters-weight lost so far



Recommended Posts

I was banded on this past Monday the 25th. I lost about 55 lbs pre-op with the help of a nutritionist for about 6 months. I was on a liquid diet one day prior to surgery and am still on the liquids now and should be aloud mushies on the 2nd of august. I may have lost a pound or 2 so far since surgery but not really concerned with losing weight right now as much as I am worried about healing. Although losing is a bonus right now. I wish everyone luck with their journey!

Banded July 12. Today is my 3 week bandiversary and I am down 21 lbs from first consultation. I didn't do a liquid preop diet, so I only lost about 5 lbs doing the low carb thing. All the rest has come post-op, from the band doing it's job!

I was banded 7/27, with no pre-op diet, and I am down 22 lbs. So ready to be on full liquids or mushies or pizza (HA!). Go see my Doc on Thursday so I am going to beg for some mushy food. :)

So proud of us all,

I was banded on July 7th and I am down 18 lbs. It seems that we are all keeping fairly the same pace. I am finding that i am not getting enough calories in (shocking) I do best when I get around 800 calories a day.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
