Recommended Posts

As of September 9th this year it has been 4 years since I had my surgery! I have been extremely successful and have maintained my weight loss and healthy life style! I am happier then ever and would not change my decision for the world! I wish you all success love and happiness.. Work your band! don’t let your band work you! Muchos besos and good long life to you all!

PS. I hope the second photo wasnt too much! Just want to show that if you work out hard you dont need surgery to remove skin in some cases... simple cardio and crunches do the trick. In box me if you want my tips and tricks... hope to not offend anyone

Hello :) Congrats on your wl.

I too am 4 years out and at goal. Unfortunately I do need cosmetic surgery and am getting it October 8th.

Don't worry about offending anyone, perhaps all the girls should start a lbt calendar <wink>

Congrats again, you look great :)

Well aren't you a hottie (meant lightheartedly). :)

That's awesome! I started almost the same weight and hope to achieve what you have and maintain. Thanks for the inspiration. It's always great to see long-term banders success stories!

      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.
