Calling March/April 2006 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I'm kerry and this is my first post on here.

I live in England but find this site a great resource and have been browsing for a while now.

I was banded in Belgium in March 2006, and am approaching my 1 year bandiversary :confused:

I was just wondering how everyone banded at a similar time to myself is getting on..........for example how much have you lost, and have you had any problems with the band.

I look forward to reading your replies

Hi Kerrry,

I was banded April 4, 2006 in Montreal. I am down 161 pounds and have had no problems. I added exercise in at the 1/2 way mark in my journey and now run 4 times a week. I am doing a 5 k in 3 weeks!!!

Good luck to you!

I was banded 3/1 last year. I have lost 130 lbs (give or take 2 lbs). I have gone from a size 34+ top/pant to an 18/20 top and 22 pant. I have not had any problems. Overfilled once, but that's a fill issue, not a band issue. I LOVE MY BAND.

I was banded 4/10/06 and am down 155 lbs. I'm having plastics later this month and am so nervous/excited about that part of the journey. I'm starting to feel like myself again for the first time in a long time. I've had no complications whatsoever (knock wood). I found my sweet spot back in June on my third fill and have coasted since. I love my band and am so happy I did this, nearly a year ago.

      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.
