I finally did it. I've lost 200 pounds



Recommended Posts

Almost 15 months ago' date=' I had Lap Band surgery.

Today I am thrilled to announce I have now officially lost 200 pounds since then.

If I wasn't currently in the hospital I'd post pics. I will take some later when I'm home and better.

I just had to share! :)[/quote']

Very very happy for you!!!! I take it you are also feeling better. Keep up the great work

Thanks!

Honestly, I didn't do anything special. I just track all my calories to be sure I stay within my daily allowance and never eat more than a cup of food per meal. I've done both since the day I got home from the hospital after my band surgery and it's definitely paid off.

I will post pics as soon as I get rid of the rest of the Water weight. 3 1/2 days of IV fluids and malfunctioning kidneys resulted in 16 pounds of Water weight! I was so swollen my hands were twice their normal size and the skin was so tight it hurt. I couldn't even put on socks because my ankles were so swollen.

I've lost 9 pounds of the water since Wednesday so 7 more to go. Ugh! LOL!

Way to go! You must feel amazing, like a new person. I imagine the energy you've picked up along the way has been a huge bonus as well. Speedy recovery, hope you're home soon. You're a real inspiration. I'm not a food logger, I really struggle with that part of the whole thing. You've proven that it works so I'm going to make an honest attempt to get my sh*t together, get organized and start logging. Thanks for your post(s)!

      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.
