It's my One Year Band Anniversary...



Recommended Posts

Wow, I can't believe it....it was one year ago today....August 17, 2005, I got my wonderful band!!! Oh, how my life has changed and I am so grateful, happy, excited and thrilled.

I want to thank everyone on LBT, from the bottom of my heart, for the support, advice and friendship you all have shown me the last year and a half. I have learned so much from all of you, mostly that I was not the only person on the face of this earth experiencing difficult times due to my weight; from not being able to fit in a booth at a restrauant to not traveling due to my weight. In other words, you guys helped me feel normal. Thank you all so very much...

As promised, I am (for the first time) posting my before pic along with my one year anniversary pic....hope it works. If it comes out too big or not side by side, hopefully one of our expert photograhers/computer wizards can help me....thanks.

      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.
