Something Great Happened!



Recommended Posts

Hey guys....so I was banded July 10, 2012 and am post op a moth and a week. I am down 35 lbs so far.

So I went back to work today after being out a month and someone said "hey there skinny" and another person said "flaca" which in spanish is skinny. I was sooooo stoked! LOL thats something I have never been called! I can wait to get down to 100lbs down.

Thx for listening...xoxo

That's so cool! Glad to hear it's working out. I learned a little something about myself when this started happening to me. I had to learn how to graciously take a compliment about my appearance! This is the good stuff. Enjoy it.

You hit the nail on the head! Although I appreciated the compliments it felt alittle weird at the same time. I think i have to learn how to take a compliment as well. Thanks for your words. :-)

      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.
