204 lbs off then 65lbs on! ARGH!



Recommended Posts

I tried to update this thread but it wouldn't update! so I thought I'd just post it again here

food addiction kicked in big time & I was consumed with the thought of food & 'what I can have next'. Don't think that'll ever go away!

Well, my weight shot up while waiting for the fill. I ended up at 251 lbs :speechles .. (BMI 35) not good! Mr Galloway put in a wee 1/4 ml and that gave me the spur on I needed to make the correct food choices again.

I'm weighing myself once a week (on a Friday) & as of last Friday I was back down to 232lbs .. so that's 19 lbs in 4 weeks.. I'm just pleased that it's coming back off again! My BMI is now at 32.4. My clothes are all still a tad too tight but better than they were this time last month!

I'm still taking the Clomid tablets.. I have one more month of them to go & thats it! I have an appointment with the Fertility clinic on 27th November (again) probably to tell me what happens next! Here's hoping I won't have to go & I'll be preggers ! Tho somehow I think not...

My portion sizes are about starter size. If I take my time I'm ok. I'm finding it difficult to make the right food choices & not eat crap.. but it's easier now that I'm a little tighter.

I'm aiming to be 210lbs for next month.. would be nice to be 200 but anything under 220lbs will do!

Thanks for all your PM's and texts!!!

I think that is what is sooooo amazing with our bands if for some reason we gain or loose restriction the band is ALWAYS there for us to resume our weight loss. Good luck on getting pregnant and I bet with your weight loss starting up again it will happen. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck and keep up the great work.

Hi Audrey,

What a brilliant weightloss - you must be a shadow of your former self.

I don't know if you remember me, I contacted you months ago before I was banded. Do you still have meetings in Gartnavel? Would love to know where and when please?

I'd love to meet others going through this - my doc hardly told me anything and all I know I've found on here.

I won't have my first till end April - 5 months post op - were you the same?

Well done on the weightloss - I can only hope to be as successfull as you've been.

Yvonne

      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.
