Recommended Posts

Hi everyone..

I'm Kelly, I was banded on June 3rd and so far I have lost 20 pounds. I am at the point now where my willpower has to be in full gear and I need as much support as possible. I think like most of us that are on here, we aren't so good that the willpower and exercise gig. I know that I need to do this to make this band work for me. Any support would be welcomed. I am from the hampton roads area...

Thanks for listening! ;)

Hi Kelly! I was banded on July 13th. I'm down about 20lbs too (including my pre-op diet.) I completely agree that its taken more will power than I anticpated but I try to remind myself that this time, this weight loss journey is for good! I think about going through the surgery and of course the $10K I am paying on !! I'm looking forward to getting my fills going and see if that helps curve my hunger. Have you had any fills yet?:rolleyes:

      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.
