1 year bandiversary!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I cannot believe it's been a year!!! I made one of the best decisions of my life a year ago. Yes, it has been a long road and hard work, yes, it in a continuing success, and you must never give up on yourself. I am down 83lbs as of this morning, and still losing. I am training to run a 5k, and I am very excited. It's hard work, but anyone can do this, you just have to set your mind to it. One of the biggest helps was finding a friend on lap band talk. Syl and I have consistantly talked and she has encouraged me nonstop throughout this journey! I am so very proud of her and just wanna shout out and say, Awesome job sister, leep up the good work, and thanks so much for your support.

      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.
