Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

Hey! I'm down from 283 to 253 since Sept 26th so 30 lbs in 5 months. I've lost 62 since July. I've had 2 fills and I'm not in the green zone yet. I am happy with my progress considering I haven't been on an exercise regime and still eat some things that aren't considered diet food occasionally...plus I drink alcohol daily :P

Hey guys!!! I haven't been on in forever. I recently started a new job & I've been really busy. My surgery was Sept 26. As of February 6th I'm down 60.8lbs!! I feel like I have a ton more energy. I have a gym membership, so I workout any extra chance I get. My next fill is March 20th! Hope everyone is doing good! =)

I believe I will be banded late August early September. I started my 6 month program this month and by the time insurance accepts it all I imagine it will be late July early August.

I just had my 1st consultation probably won't be banded until August or September

Hi all of my fellow sept.2012 banders!

So I have lost almost 50 lbs, things are going a little slow but I know that if I were to exercise and drink more Water it would go faster. I'm optimistic that now that the weather is improving I will get out more. I am trying to find a new Protein Shake that tastes good without too much sugar, any suggestions? :D

Color me jealous! I have been stuck at 25-28 pounds lost for almost 4 months! I exercise like crazy, drink more Water than I ever have, and play ping pong with these 3 pounds that come and go! Don't know what to tell you about the Protein Drink. Keep up the good work though!

I have found that the days I get high Protein (60g or more) I am not hungry at all and don't snack and pick. My diet mostly consists of cottage cheese, greek key lime yogurt with graham crackers, unsweetened tea with stevia sweetener and usually a few bites of whatever I made for dinner for everyone else. When I'm eating out I either get a bean burrito or a snack wrap. When I'm craving something sweet I have an Adkins protein snack bar.

      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.
