Im Still around



Recommended Posts

Hello, everyone.... I am still here.. Trying as always and aways.. I am still having problems, but trying my hardest to make the best of it all. I think I need a fill..... I heard "one" time that it takes 2-3 maybe 4 fills to hit THAT sweet spot... well even thought I have been banded almost 2 years and I have only have had 1 maybe 2 fills after my new band I need to go back to the fact that it can take 3 - 4 fills to hit that "sweet" spot... so I am waiting and I have not givin up yet.. It has been It has been 20 months since I had the band.. I have lost over 70 pounds.. I am waiting to lose more..I know 70 pounds is good, but a start of 341 pounds, and almost 2 years... is not good, but.. my problems and mayjor complications I guess 70 is really good.... I envy everyone out there that started with me, and has already past me... Love ya!!!

I have been with LBT since Dec. of 2004... and I will always be here even if I dont talk much, I am here... Love ya all!!!!!!

Thanks for listen to me vent!

Hi Trish

Good to see you. Hope this band goes a bit more smoothly for you. Patience is hard - but 70 pounds down is better than a kick in the head, right?

Hugs and Good Luck!

Hey Trish-- it's good to hear from you again--maybe now that the weather is sort of settling down you can make it up here to have a fill. Although, Dr. Smith is out of the country right now--I called to get an appt for a fill and could not get in until the 26th of Feb, and I can't wait. This will be my 3rd fill in about 2 months-- I can't seem to find that sweet spot either. Although, I am doing fairly well with my weight loss, but I do feel like I can eat way to much--I just have to force myself not to. If you do make it up anytime soon, let me know, and maybe we can get together. Hang in there, and e-mail me anytime you want to chat, or just vent.

      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.
