Early june 2013 banders?



Recommended Posts

I'm back too :-) I've stayed away a little while, but it's time to get serious. I've lost a total of 40 so far, but should have lost more since June. The good news is, over thanksgiving and Christmas I haven't gained. I've just been simply sticking at 40. Time to get back on the losing track! Maybe we can get together to walk Kim, I still want to meet! :-)

Hello my fellow bandsters! I was banded June 2013. I can't believe I am approaching 1 year. How is everyone doing? I'm doing well. I've lost 60lbs so far. I had a few months of plateaus. I have definitely lost more inches than weight. I've gone from a size 22W to a 16W. I work out with a trainer twice a week and on my own 3 days. Total of 5 days a week. I have finally hit the green zone! I recently found out I have hypothyroidism. It may explain why my weight loss has slowed. I start meds today so we will see how that goes. My surgeon thinks it will help tremendously. I am so happy that I chose to have lapband surgery. It is an fantastic tool and has taught me how to eat and actually enjoy food. It's amazing how such small amounts can satisfy me now. I have attached a before and a few in progress photos. I hope everyone is doing great!! post-146026-0-66316100-1397655545_thumb.jpg post-146026-0-66624700-1397656059_thumb.jpg post-146026-0-79741100-1397656035_thumb.jpg post-146026-0-82362200-1397655556_thumb.jpg

      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.
