I hit my 100 pound lost mark yesterday! I'm so happy about this. I had the goal to do it by Christmas, but it happened early. Now to see if I can keep from gaining much over the next week. Eek!

nazzy,

I had surgery in February last year, so I'm just under the 11-month mark.

I have had 4 fills, I think. I like to keep my band fairly loose so I don't have pb episodes, etc. I think I'm at 6.5 in my 10 cc band. You can read my blog (link in my signature) for more detailed info.

HI Theogillis7,

Re: not to loose weight -- well, if you choose high calorie "slider" foods - Cookies, candies, ice cream, high-fat things - you can still eat too many caloires and not loose weight. Regain - same story.

Loose weight before surgery? - well, it depends on your program/bariatric center/surgeon. Some require (and insurance companies often do) a pre-op diet like 3 - 6 months supervised diet - to show that you can follow the diet changes. I had to do 3 months, and lost about 40 pounds. However, medically, you may not need to loose weight - some surgeons want you to loose some weight to decrease the fat around the liver and make the surgery easier, but not all do. Talk to you surgeon!

A happy story - Christmas Eve my brother and sister-in-law who I have not seen for a year came home. I email them occasionally, but I guess the topic of the band and weight loss never came up with them -- I assumed our mother told them, or somebody else in the family.

Well, apparently, he wasn't sure who I was and was about to ask, when I guess it dawned on him that it was ME! He didn't say anything, but told my mom afterwards that they were blown away with the change.

Pretty funny! :-) I guess I do look a bit different now! What a difference a year can make.

the goal with the band once your at goal is to have your band at the right level of restriction so that you can eat "normal" foods. eat what you want basically with in reason , and you are able to maintain your weight.

It does ( from what i understand) take a little , or can take a little tweaking to get your band at the right level so your not losing and yoru not gaining anymore.

What happens if once your at goal and you gain ? then you go get a slight fill and lose that weight. THAT is the beauty of the band. IF you do gain wieght YOU CAN Lose it.

what happens if your losing weight? then you go have some Fluid taken out so you are able to eat a little more and you stop losing weight.

Does that help ?

Mindy

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
