proud of myself...



Recommended Posts

So proud of myself. Doctors appointment went fantastic yesterday. I'm down 12 pounds in one week. And my doctor says I am doing well enough to up my diet slowly. So tonight I practiced my new chewing tonight and ate even less food because I was fuller quicker..... first time ever I have stopped eating and went....hmm that's enough and been satisfied! Anyone else experience this? Tell me your proud moment since having the band. :) look forward to hearing your special moment.

i have several proud moments. but the one i enjoy most

is knowing i can NOW push my baby granddaughter around the block in her stroller..

I'm only on my 6th day so I don't really have any proud moments yet, but you said that you lost 12 lbs in a week... Exactly what week are you on after having the surgery?

Wow, 12 pounds, that's great! My proud moment was sitting in an airplane seat and not having to ask for the extender belt. My husband was like, wow, you must feel great! Keep up the great work!

I am the same as you. I am now one week one day post op. So as of my weigh in today I have lost 13.2 pounds. And yeah I know its early but I already have my proud moment. Because before I would have been back into the kitchen to eat 10x the amount of food I ate last night and I would have had a huge slice of the pie I baked my boyfriend. But after a bite of the pie filling I decided it wasn't worth it and it didn't taste good (to me....he loved it). Keep me posted about your weight loss :)

Oh my gosh I can't wait to take an airplane ride again....last time I was so big and cramped I felt like all my fat was rolling onto the passenger...needless to say I can't wait to fit.

My proud moment came when I went to my first appointment on April 4th and found out I lost 10 pounds. I did the happy dance on the scale and my husband just looked at me. ~Snicker~

I am at day 9 now. I had surgery on March 27th. I'm excited to see the weight come off like that. That is one of the motivating factors for me.

I've had so many but the two most recent have been seeing relatives that have not seen me. It had been years since I saw my husband's Aunt and she just said..."wow you look different!". Also, at the same gathering I saw his sister-in-law, who inspired me with her weight loss, and she said..."you look great, wow you really look great!" What a boost!

I'm pretty new to band( 2/19) but my proud moment came two days ago. I had been "stuck" at 236lbs and was waiting anxiously to see 235--- that number just became really important to me. So I got on the scale in the morning HOPING to see 235----- and it said 233!!!!( well, 233.8 but STILL!! Lol)

It went back up to 235 today but I don't care because it once said 233!!! That means I can do this!

      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.
