1YEAR Bandanniversary TODAY 3/18



Recommended Posts

I can't believe 1 year ago today I had my surgery, how time flies. Last night my family and I were looking at pictures we took before I left that morning for surgery and what a difference. I'm currently 50 lbs less then I was a year ago, I had expected more but I'm not going to beat myself up about it. Yesterday at work I got so many compliments and it made me feel so good. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see the old me, I guess that will take some time. I use to wear a size 26/28 currently a size 20. I'm eating so much healtier and taking Vitamins and I can't believe the energy I have!

I hope and pray this year I can lose another 65 pounds and then I will consider having a Tummy Tuck. This was the best gift I could every give myself.:clap2:

CONGRATULATIONS its amazing how fast the year goes isnt it, It was mine on the 8th March and all day I kept thinking of "this time last year"

I was grateful to go into hospital for the rest as I was so exhausted having to travel to belgium from Scotland and walk to the plane, climb the stairs etc lol

of course you shouldnt beat yourself up after losing FIFTY POUNDS !!!!!

fantastic, and incase you dont realise, go and load a suitcase up with 50lbs worth of books and try carrying it upstairs and round the house then you will realise your massive acheivement

      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.
