I Did It!



Recommended Posts

I just had to share that I created a plan, I have stayed with my plan, today I weighed and I hit my goal of 175 pounds before Sept 1st! (The scale really has 174.4) but I am so happy I cried. It's been a long time for me to be where I am and I am just so thankful!

I need some serious help I am so discouraged with the whole thing. I hate my lapband I am spitting up all the time and there is so much I am unable to eat. What should I do? Has anyone been there

kiki, don't get discouraged. I was banded in Nov 2010 and I had only lost 10 pounds and I think the majority of that was from stopping my Dr. Pepper addiction. Some life-changing events caused me to keep my band but just have it empty until things settled down. In March of this year, I made an appointment with my doctor to discuss having my band removed. We talked about it and I had a fill instead and set up my goals. I've been doing what I am supposed to do, had my fills and this is where I am today.

If you are getting sick, you could be too tight. Have you talked to your doctor? You are supposed to be able to eat but just control the portions. Proper nutrition intake, Water and NO empty calories combined with exercise and you should start to see positive results! Hang in there...you CAN do this!

      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.
