February 2007 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I am still here reading now and then just have not posted much. I have been on a plateau for about 6 months. I need to get motivated and get a fill and start to exercise.

Hi everyone just checking in on my fellow Feb. 2007 bandsters. My weight loss has been slow, but I am happy with it.

You've hit onerderland and that's great! I wouldn't consider your weight loss slow for a band. My dr has the band and lost 100, but he thinks that's all he's ever going to lose, but I don't believe that do you? He says he's plateaued. thank goodness I don't go to him for band support. My loss has been slow and I haven't had a fill in a year due to esophagus issues, but I'm hoping to get a fill in June. Have a great day!

good luck with the fill Rebecca. You've done well without one.

I've plateau several times. I takes me about 3 months to loose 5 lbs. Even with slow weightloss, I love my band!

Hi there everyone,

I'm new on this site so still trying to find my way round. I was banded in February 2007. Glad to have finally found this site!

We do not have any support groups here in Dubai so this is really it for me!

I have lost 66 lbs since my operation. I have stopped losing weight due to being lazy and just not watching what I eat, hopefully joining this site will motivate me and get me back on track....:thumbup:

I think the first thing I am going to do is call my Dr. and try to find out how much I have been filled etc...I honestly don't keep track. I never knew I had to! when I get all the information I'll post it just like you have Wally girl.

Hi Everyone,

Teacher here, just wanted to post a quick hello. When I was first banded I couldn't get enough of this website. But, since I've lost weight, I can't get enough LIVING in to make up for the past Non-living I've done!!!

Hope everyone is doing fine.

Michele

I have learned that if you keep track you can see what works for you. I was unfilled two weeks ago and wait until June 12 for an upper GI, then maybe at that time they will refill me again and I can start losing weight..... I hope this happens! PS. I need to start working out, this website has a place where we can go to join in on working out.

My band is frustrating me. After one year I had a good EGD and went in for my fill. I began with 2.6 cc and they brought me up to 2.8 cc. Over the weekend I began throwing up liquids and have acid reflux. I went back in and they removed saline bringing me down to 2.2 cc. where liquid would begin flowing again. The good news is no acid reflux, I can eat again and I still feel restriction. Over those 5 days I lost 7 lbs! Fickle, Fickle, Fickle! But it's all good.

      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.
