October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I think another challenge is a great idea Jess. Memorial Day is too soon and the next holiday after that is 4th of July. Is that crazy or what?! It's hard to believe we've been banded 7-8 months now. Our one year anniversaries will be here before we know it! Personally I want to lose another 25 by then, so I'm game for any challenges or anything that will get my butt moving! lol

Hey everyone! Well, I am off to Vegas tomorrow morning. Goin to the Academy of Country Music Awards. I am so excited that I can hardly myself. Lots of drinks and food, but I just had a fill last week and for the first time, I truly know what pb's are. OMG! The pain. I really have to focus on chewing and eating slooooooowwwwwwww! I say a challenge is a great idea. I need something to motivate me. July 4th is a good goal. What is a reasonable weight loss to everyone? 10lbs?

Have a great week to all the October band babies.

I love a challenge! I would like to lose 13 pounds by July 4...that would put me 168, which is 50 pounds gone. July 4 is about 7 weeks away. I think we should set the goal for 10 or 15 pounds. What does everyone else think?

Hey everyone. Wow everyone is doing so good. I am also doing good I am down 80 pounds and counting. I am finally at the weight I was when I got married so I am pretty happy about that. With the gall bladder problems I was completely unfilled and so I only have 3 cc's so I need some Fluid in this band. But I still have lots of restriction.

      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.
