Almost 2 Months Out 3/21/12



Recommended Posts

Hello fellow banders... I am almost 2 months out and is feeling great. I've been reading that many are getting depressed because they are not losing... My advice it to be patient it seems like it just go away over night. I've went from an 18 to 14 I've lost a ton of inches and just 30 pounds I'm not worried about the pounds as long as I'm losing inches and Health is great. I realize that the weight it slower and I am happy with that. At my job many thought that I was out having my gall bladder removed.. Well my boss saw me walking in the hall and he said "holy **** you have lost a lot of weight" I laughed and said thank you then he proceed to say Lisa did you really have your gall bladder removed or something else I laughed it off and said yes I did.. So my advice is to be patient take it easy follow the rules and you will be happy because I am and I'm loving the band.. Cheers

Congrats on your success mizpk! I LOL'd when I read this because I'm probably going to tell my boss I'm having gallbladder surgery to explain why I'm out of the office!

mizpc83 ..i agree totally with this one. im about the same time out from surgery as you are. ... im having the same results and its wonderful. i dont want to lose too quickly either. consider that the weight loss ive had in seven weeks is just amazing, and whats more, im not starving myself either... so it couldnt be better. Its wonderful to get the comments.. you are doing so well. Congratulations on your decision. its certainly paying off well for you. Keep up the great work.

      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.
