Coming Up On Three Years ...



Recommended Posts

Its been an awful beautiful ride! Yes, I still get stuck. Yes, I'm still somewhat overweight. Yes, I wonder if I should have made a different choice like the sleeve. Yes.....I am thrilled to be 180 lbs and almost 40 and be in the best shape of my life. Yes, I love wearing size 14, for some that's huge, for me that's amazing and wonderful. Yes, I went to an amusement park this weekend, and I didn't even think about not fitting. But, it broke my heart for those that didn't. Yes, i love riding and walking and running and hiking with my family, and not being "the one that can't do it". Yes, I, Me, Moi, has lost 100 lbs! And I couldn't have done it without my band. Yes, its been hard. Yes, its worth it! I'm worth it! Your worth it!

You are so inspiring! I am one year out (in June) and feel like you. I haven't lost 100 pounds, but still feel the healthy, wonderful feeling that comes with weight loss. Keep up the good work and congratulations! :D

      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.
