22 Months In - Still at Goal and Skinny - Easily Maintaining



Recommended Posts

HI everyone! Haven't been on for quite a while but just popping in to say - 22 months in and still SKINNY!!! Maintaining within 5 pounds of goal at all times. Don't even think about any of it anymore. Just a routine part of my life. Portions are just small. Sometimes I even forget to eat or force myself. It's been wonderful. No - not all my problems were solved just like they warn you. BUT being thin and pretty and in beautiful outfits all the time sure ain't bad!!!! =) Just wanted to tell you all that despite all the negativity about the band it does work and it's the best decision I ever made. Surgery was really quick and easy and other than a few scary moments with "odd" feelings or pains at the very beginning - I've had no problems and don't even think about the band. BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL ON OUR JOURNEYS!!!!

Thanks for sharing, Allison! That's wonderful. So happy for you. Those of us just starting out really appreciate hearing how well you are doing. I'm pre-op scheduled for June 20. Any tips for the immediate post-op period? Thanks!

Couldn't be easier, or Better!

      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.
