Banded for 8 months and have lost 6.5 stone



Recommended Posts

I guys

I'm new to this 8months down and have lost 6.5 stone, and am delighted better than I ever cod if imagined. I knew I would lies but not this quickly, it has been really easy as well.

Have had 2 band fills and the last one has lasted since October.

This band fill has left me needing to consume very little which at first I thought was good

But my question is

Is it ?

Is it really healthy to live on so little?

Feeling confused

it sounds as if you are doing really good. i think most of us consume 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food 3 times a day. i also take a Multivitamin and vit. B12 vitb 50 Biotin and Calcium 1000mg and vit. d5000. and at least 60 grams of Protein a day. the Protein usually comes from food not supplements. but i do drink Protein Shake if i need the supplement. your body will let you know if something is wrong. are you getting blood work once in awhile to make sure you are chemically normal? i hope this is helpful

We are here for you. Like begets like. You are doing fantastic. You are not gaining weight are you.? I know just how you feel , even after almost 4 years. I eat very very little. I am so used to it. That's why quality is more important than quantity.. Crapy food in your mouth is just wasted time and calories, you wouldn't put bad gas in your car would you.? Or in your dog or cat.

And if you have been reading the post, you know how I feel about alcohol.

Keep up ALL the positive things in your life. Hugs

      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.
