October 2006 Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

hey dani, i love my latte's also and couldn't believe how many carbs were in skim milk, i switched to light vanilla soy milk (8th continent) it still has 5 carbs but it's one treat that i love to give my self, i also use sugarfree flavorings which have no carbs. hope this helps.

weight loss has been going good since i joined weight watchers and also cut down on my carbs. I joined weight watchers more for the accountabilty factor (weekly weigh in)

yes, that would be great! i would appreciate your help. i am trying not to get down, but i really thought i would be comfy in a swimsuit by now and i am not. i just got off the 4 month plateau i was on. i had to have belly button hernia repair and my nurse told me that would probably get me off the plateau and she was right. lost 4 more but i guess i really have to pay attention now. i have been keeping the food journal and walking as exercise, but i need to do more. my son has a weight machine in the garage but it has been so hot here i don't want to go out there.

hello everyone I am so glad I found this post I have been looking for one that would show me that I am not the only one that is having a hard time. My family and friends just don't understand. I was banded on 10/19/2006 my starting weight was 265 I am know down to about 214. I go to the doctor on monday and I need another fill, my surgeon doesn't like to fill me so I have only had 3. I can still eat almost everything I want, just no soft bread. I thought I would be at my goal by my 1 yr.

      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.
