Where are the May 2006 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

I haven't seen too many of us around lately. Our bandiversaries are coming up already. Good grief, the past year has flown by! How is everyone doing?

I've had some ups and downs with my weight over the last year, but overall I am pretty happy with my progress. I'm in no-man's land right now - too small for lane bryant, too big for everywhere else. These next 20 pounds are going to be a big deal for me, since they pretty much mark the boundary between "fat" and "notfat" for me. Wish me luck. And good luck to all of you guys too :-)

I am doing great! I am also around that weight-but I am tall so I can wear most everything now. Some tops bind a bit-I still have a tummy that makes slim cut jackets or blouses fit tightly. I am 20 pounds from my goal but am so happy with what I have achieved.

YAY! I'm glad you're doing so well! I wonder where everyone else is. They must be doing great if they don't have any reason to hang around here :-)

      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.
