Recommended Posts

I stayed the same this week. Was given the bad news that the band doctor will not let me get a fill until i see the gastro doctor in June. This is going to be hard!!!

Count me in...on my home scale I am 202, but I know that the doctor's office is normally between 8 and 12 pounds higher, so I normally add 10 pounds to whatever my home scale says. Butg if I can get to 190 on my home scale I would be estatic!

I wish I had thought to do that, but I think once I hit 189 I might take one because it has been so hard to do. I have set another goal. I have 5 lbs to go to maintain a 5lb a month loss. I would like to lose more a month but if I can do 5 a month that would make me happy. I have lost 1 lb so I am playing catch up with last month, but thats ok. Good luck everyone!

Well, I know I am a day early for weighin but it's getting pretty hard for me to get on the boards from work.

My last fill a week ago today has done a wonder on me. My band has been taking me through. Very tight in the AM and lossing up on some days but not all.

My weight loss for this week is a -3 pounds which brings me to 201lbs. Hurray Hurray Hurray, I'm on my way to onederland!!!!

Well I am happy to say that yesterday (06/07) I made it to 199!!:clap2: Then when I am really trying to step up my game and workout like crazy and cut back on what I am eating EVEN MORE I get the dreaded TOM last night. I knew it was coming b/c I was wanting to graze on everything in sight and started to feel bloated. So sure enough, this morning the scale read 200 again. :faint: But I know it is only temporary and is probably b/c I am full of Water. After the yucky TOM has passed I hope to be striving for 195 by the end of June. Since my 2nd fill two weeks ago my weight loss has been around 8 lbs so I cannot complain!

I weighed myself monday and it said 189.8, woooohoooo my goal! Before I get too excited, I weighed in yesterday for the thread and I am still stuck at 191. I hope it goes back down quickly.

Don't you just hate that Liz, I do the same thing. When I think I am on my way that TOM hits me hard and there is usually 3 to 4 pounds added. But I try to stay encourage cause I know if I do the right thing that will leave along with a few extra pounds.

Anyway, this week I was up and down but this AM I was 200 even so I'll take it. I will try to step up my game by next week. I am going to need 195 to really know that I am out of the 200.

Have a great day!

      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.
