One Year Band Anniversary Today!



Recommended Posts

Today is my one year anniversary of being banded. I could not be happier. It's been quite a year. Today I am down 66 pounds. For year two I vow to stay connected to this site and hit my goal weight. I'd like to hear from anyone else who was banded December 2011 to see how you are doing.

Congratulations! Glad you are doing well, keep up the great work. Must have been hard getting banded during the holidays! That is major success in itself!

Thank you! This year was harder through the holidays than last. Last Christmas I was on my liquid diet and even though there was all kinds of goodies, it was the only time they didn't "call to me" and I think because I knew I was getting banded. This Christmas was a different story and my weight has yo yo'd this holiday. The elipical did get moved back into the house so I will start using it again!

I was banded November 24 2010 and I am down 80 lbs... 5 more pounds to goal weight of 140! The last 10 lbs were much easier than I imagined I guess I am excited to get to the finish! Here is my before and after pics to give some of you inspiration!

      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.
