flying solo for 8 months



Recommended Posts

I am happy to report after 8 months I am maintaining this weight loss. No wieght gain. The scale fluctuates between 2-4 lbs butr that all depends on what I ate or drank or the time of the month to me that is fluff weight. I sitll wear my size 10-12"s It is not easy somedays I struggle but Iam determined. I finallyt feel like I have won this battle to have mainatained for 8 months with nothing is a victory for me.

You are way cool. I'm so proud of you! I can't imagine being without my band, but you are proof it CAN be done! I don't know how you do it, Michelle. Do you log your food? Thanks for the update. I think of you often!

      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.
