My Very Own NSV



Recommended Posts

I have finally fit into a size 8. I have not wore that size since I was a freshman in high school. I am so excited. Moving right along, I can't wait to fit into size 6.

If anybody is wondering if this band thing works, I am living proof. I never thought it would when I first got it done. It took me two fills before I noticed anything. I was banded in Dec. and had my 2nd fill in Feb.

It has been worth the weight(wait). So for future bandsters, hang in there. I was the one that kept sitting there saying I have tried everything, and I bet this does'nt work either. BOY was I wrong.

A size 8?! That's a size that I long ago deemed a fantasy - but it sure would be fun to get there. Congratulations!!

      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.
