6 months and down 60 lbs



Recommended Posts

Had a fill today and am down a total of 59.8 lbs! ( I am rounding up to 60 :) I currently have 6.44 cc in the 10 cc band. I think this will put me in my sweet spot. Thanksgiving wasnt half as bad as I expected. Christmas will be the same I am hoping. My progress has been steady and I was frustrated because I wanted to see results fast. My size 16 jeans are baggy and that is a great feeling. My body is a total apple shape and I have lost inches in my middle. So happy that I made this decision to have the lapband. I feel better and have more energy. I am 5'7" so I am hoping to be a solid 175 and I will be happy. I am not a small girl. Believe it or not I enjoy cooking and eating out much now than before I was banded. I have learned to taste food, and dont care about cramming it it. Sometimes I have the head hunger and wish I could just eat a double cheese burger with the works. However, I know I have to stay focused. Happy Holidays to all ! Looking forward to a New year with a new body ! 2014 will be all about keeping positive and staying on track.

      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.
