November 2006 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi, I was banded Nov.29, 06 and I have lost 45 pounds. I am very frustrated, I have 6.5cc in a 10cc band and still don't have restriction. I haven't had a fill since October because I moved from CA to TX and I am having a hard time finding a Dr. I found one, but waiting because he left his practice to start his own private practice. I am trying to be patient, but find myself eating everything in sight. I have to stop this!! I am not motivated and feel depressed. I am praying that my next fill will give me restriction and set me on the right track again.

I was banded Nov. 30, 2006 Have lost 50-54 lbs. Most by June of 07, but it is still slowly droping! I am not a model patient, I eat whatever I want, don't exercise... But, thats why i was fat in the first place! This however works...I actually have a pair of size 6 jeans that are bagging!(Thank God for Wal-Mart and their over-sized sizes!)

Hi everybody. I'd eventually like to lose another 30 pounds, but I am stuck and in some bad habits. Still grateful for the band. I know it's there waiting for me to be good again so it can help me. Gosh, time passes. Hard to believe I was banded that long ago!

      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.
