I Hit My Goal!!!!



Recommended Posts

You Rock!...Now give me the dirt...

I too am Canadian. I am not sure how many of us there are on this site. Where did you get your surgery and who was your surgeon? Were you self pay or insurance. HOW WAS IT... the surgery the life, did you ever question your decision, did you at any point gain any weight back?

I need to know!!!! I am set for surgery on March 12 but am having second thoughts. I weigh 202 with a goal of 140. Looking at the diet requirements it seems to me that if I can do the diet I can lose the weight without the band?!?!?! P.S. $16,000 is the cost to me plus about $2,000 for incidentals to get to and stay in Toronto. this is huge money for my family.... DO YOU CREDIT YOUR SUCCESS TO THE BAND or simply hard work.

That is fantastic news. I'm newly banded 7 months and have hit the 40 lbs range. I have 40 more to go with a stretch goal of 65. I love my band. You've done great!

      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.
