Two weeks out and feeling good



Recommended Posts

Hey people! i just wanted to give a shout out to my fellow lap band newbies. I'm 2 weeks and 39 lbs downblink.gif I didnt see it.

Friends and co workers were saying how good I was looking and it just didnt hit me until I tried on a pair of jeans I bought 10 mos ago. When I was dieting. And here I am two weeks out able to fit them So for any of who are struggling or dont see result yet. Please don't get too discouraged. We're all in it together!

Sending love and positivity you way

Yeah it's totally normal. liquids dont stay in the pouch very long they funnel right through. no worries! Once you get to mushies you'll feel less hungry.

I try to give an accurate account of what the process is like. Check out my blog : www.muffintopmoxy.blogspot.com

If you have more questions feel free to ask. I hope I can help. Good luck :)

Hi Tiff,

My husband is 18 days out today. He's 17 lbs. down. He's still on the soft foods for four more days. What have you been eating? It sounds like you're doing great! I bet you're really excited.

Hi Mimatvlv

We were banded on the same day. I am going to my Dr Monday to get staples out and possibly a fill? I am doing just liquids but I can have creamy Tomato and mushroom Soup no chunks in it. I am also drinking costco Protein shakes, crystal light and light V8 juices. I was doing fine pre op and just until a day ago. Now I am very hungry most of the time. I was told this is normal but for the love of god I want food! Hope it goes well and let's stay in touch!

Good for you! are you exercising like a maniac, 39 lbs is amazing in 2 wks. Im starving too, I think Im eating way morew than i should. My nutrionist said to eat one egg for Breakfast, it wasnt cutting it so i upoped it to 1 egg and 2 egg whites, and that barely satisfies the hunger. are you hungry? what are you eating that your weight loss was so successful?

Hey People!

II haven't got clearance to head back to the gym yet. The doc says another 2 weeks. I didnt believe it myself when he said 39 lbs. Until I took a pic. I live south Korea so my food options are limited. I cant wait to head back stateside in 2 weeks.When I was on mushies I was drinking Protein shakes, smoothies and a lot of tomoato Soup. It's day 18 my doc put me back on solids but Im taking it easy. Usually a scrambled egg, a tiny salad. Or a quarter of chkien breast with veggies and soup. I have a childsize cup/ plate set that helps me gauge the portion size and a child's Korean lunch box for when I come to work.

I have to say I'm feeling good. i get my first fill this week. I'm excited and nervous. I'll keep you posted.

I blog at least every other day. If you have a blog please share!

Good luck everyone!

Tiff

      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.
