2.5 Years and my band looks great!



Recommended Posts

I had a little tweek of a fill (.25 cc- barely a drop!) Friday and my surgeon said my band looks fantastic and he's very happy with it. I am really tight, but restriction feels so good! I LOVE not being hungry all the time and being full after only a few bites.

The lapband rules!

Hi Megan,

Great to hear that your band is fine!!!.

I do have restriction, but not the kinda of I feel really full restriction I had before a few years ago. Now, I have to really stop myself from overeating and I am back to dieting to lose again.

Megan,

We needed to hear some good news around here!

Congrat's on the re-dedication. Thats a great thing that the band (a fill) gives us, a chance to start over our failed eating habits!

Thanks everyone! I am feeling like a brand new bandster at the moment. I'm really tight and I just can't get used to eating a few bites and stopping again. I want to eat the whole thing!

And Babs- until I got this little tweek I was struggling not to overeat myself. That's why I thought I'd try a little more fill. WOW! What a difference a drop makes.

      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.
