One Month In Bandland



Recommended Posts

Hey all just checking in since I haven't in awhile! Summers in full swing!

So one month out and 25 pounds down! A quarter of my 100 pounds to lose goal! Holy cow!

Non scale victories -

- I can take a picture of my face dead on and barely a double chin! :)

- My old pair of cowboy boots I had to buy a size up to fit my calves are now hard to walk in because there's an inch of room in the calves!

- I couldn't wear my old pyramid belt for the last year - can now!

- Don't dread walking as much - in fact had the confidence to apply to be a walking tour guide of my city - waiting to hear back

- Got decked out to go to a metal show and encountered a full length mirror (dread!!!) and actually had to double take - who was this chick that looked taller and confident and happy and slimmer?

I'm so happy! There have been ups and downs but overall I'm thrilled.

Struggling with bandster hell a little but my first fill is Thursday. On one hand I'm excited and on the other sort of dismayed that I'll be able to eat even less than I already do haha

Anyway, I'm so happy and I'm so proud of myself and I hope all my bandster buddies out there are doing well and enjoying life! :) <3

Also attached a pic of my slimmer face and new hair haha

      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.
