Recommended Posts

ok i just have to share. i decided to go to the store and buy some jeans since all of my clothes are hanging off my body now. I hit the clearance racks and i pulled sizes ranging from 12-8. i tried the 12 and put them on and immediatley fell to the ground, next the 10 just about the same thing happened, then the 8 they fit good and yet still a little loose, who would've thought i'd be going back for a SMALLER size (6) i put them on and they FIT i have never been able to pull up a size 6 let alone button them. OMG i almost started to cry.

i'm not one to rely on the scale so this morning i weighed myself and i have lost a total of 60 lbs!!!!!!!!!!! i love my lap band and love that it keeps me honest. it goes to show you work with it and it will work with you. me and my lap band are one. i have developed a relationship with the band. We've had our ups and downs but we continue to work through it together.

wishing everyone much success

take care

Isn't it fun to shop now? I wear an 8, but at one store and one brand (Eddie Bauer) I can wear a 6. The only 6 I can fit into, but hey, it's a 6 somehwhere!

Congrats! Enjoy your new shopping experiences...

      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.
