Well I have been banded since March 2013. So far lost 35lbs :)

Downfall :(

Recently was diagnosed with Bell's palsy! And on steroids :( I have been trying my best to limit my meals and try to do more workouts just so I don't gain my weight back. Hopefully this shall pass as well :)

Strange coincidence, I was banded 12/12 and was also just diagnosised with b.palsy. I was only given meds for ten days. Symptoms have lessened. Good luck to you.

I was banded in March 2013 and have only lost about 30# as well. I'm getting discouraged.

Don't get discouraged you can do it! Keep pushing and continue to succeed! 30 lbs is great my weight loss started slow but has finally picked up... It took me a while to adjust being banded but I think I finally got it.. Lol! But you can do it just keep trying and it will happen for you... I was banded in April and have finally lost about 75 lbs. it seemed like a lifetime to start losing and get in the green zone!! :) DONT BE DISCOURAGED!! You can do it... Everyone's body is different and adjusting to the band is different!! :)

I'm disabled and have to take certain meds that prevent me from losing as fast as I'd like. Hang in there. I had a bout with Bell's Palsy when I was 18 yrs old so don't get discouraged. There is a higher power that will carry you through 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.
