It's been a year!



Recommended Posts

Yesterday was one year since I got banded. It was the best thing I could have ever done to get my life back on track. I have never been so happy, people tell me all the time now that I just look like a happier person and its because I am! I love the choice that I made to get the band and would telling anyone thinking about it to go for it, it can change your life. I still have around 80lbs to my goal and my doctor told me not to be to hung up on getting that this year because my weight loss is going to slow down...he has told me that every appointment and I shock him every time;). I plan on losing the 80lbs and hopefully it will be gone before summer...I have faith it will!!!!

I plan on changing up my exercise routine this year, I think I am going to try cross fit...anyone do that if so please let me know how you feel about it.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays Everyone!post-139596-0-70936800-1387466743_thumb.jpg!!!

      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.
