11 months post op and so close to my goall!!



Recommended Posts

I was banded in February 6th 2012. On surgery day I weighed 314lbs. The heaviest I had ever been. My goal was to loose 100lbs by my 1 year band anniversary. Today I weighed in at 218!!! So close I can taste it. I still have a month and only 4lbs to my goal. Along with this victory I bought a pair of size 16 jeans today. When I started all I wanted was to get into a 16 and be able to shop in any store. Not just the big girl departments and stores. Now I am dreaming of a 10!! I never dreamed that I would feel this good about myself. I was always running from cameras and mirrors now my husband can't get me away from them. He has been my rock and support through this journey. Without him and my parents and wonderful friends ( that is the ones who know About my band) it would have been so much harder to reach my goals. So here's to hitting my goal of 100 and the next 50 that I aim to loose in 2013!!! Loving life and look forward to the future!!!

      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.
