Recommended Posts

Yes we all are about due. You are doing a good job. I have lost 104 lbs also, I have 40 more to go. But the scale is moving very slow. I think I need a fill. The last time I went in Sept. for my year check up. He told me to wait another 3 months, they didn't want to overfill me then I am running back to have it taken out. I feel some days I am struggling not to overeat. But all in all it is going very good. Keep up the good work and I love NSV's everyday I have a new one.

I went in for a unfill just the begining of this month. I was all swollen up do to being in the Hospital, and having some crushed pills shove down my throat ! That screwed up everything. So they took 1/2 of my fill out. So I know I will be do for a slight fill. Just enough to take the edge off.

Believe me ! It will creep up on you, and you might not even know it. Someone will say, Are you losing weight, cause your looking good lately There's one, or when it's time for smaller cloths. Anything that does not have to do with the scale.... Then it's a Victory.

Good Health to you on your Journey, and keep in touch.

Shirley..

Wow ! even after Thanksgiving dinner I still dropped in size somewhere.

This morning I got up and put on a size 18W Petite Chic Jeans,They fit.

I tried them on last week and needed a good 2" to close them. Not anymore !

So I really do love this band... Next is a size 16 ! That will come before I know it.

I got time, just as long as this band keeps on doing it's job, and it will, because I will

be the one working it.

A nice early Christmas Present for me. I'll take it !

      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.
