Down 3 pants sizes in a little over 3 months!



Recommended Posts

I just got back from shopping for a new pair of jeans because every pair I own was falling off. I started this journey as a size 24 and have been buying size 20 pants for a month now. Tonight I went to get jeans and the ones I really wanted didn't have a 20. I told the sales lady I would TRY the 18's but there is no way they would fit! I was shocked when they fit AND looked great:) Down 47 pounds and 3 sizes and feel amazing. (surgery was October 30th, 2012)

I just had my second fill on Wednesday and think I may have hit the green zone. I think I have a 10 CC band and the first fill they put in 2.8 CC's and this time he put in 2 CC's. He did it under xray with fluro and he cinched it all the way down and then let up enough to no see any reflux. The bad news is that I can't eat carbs really but the good news is that I can't eat many carbs really:) I definitely feel restricted to eat between 6 and 8 ounces of healthier food and feel full and it feels great. Lovin' my band! Gonna hit 50 pounds next week!!

      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.
