How much have you lost?



Recommended Posts

That's a great loss!

I focus on how I "feel". It's so easy to get wrapped up in scale numbers. Also, I like measurements as a gauge for progress since they can show more than pounds.

I've lost 80 lbs - 30 lbs were lost while I was on the pre-op liquid diet, and I've lost 50 lbs since getting my band.

My weight has been stable for the past 2 years, but my PCP says I should loose another 60-70 lbs.

I've lost 133 pounds in 16 months with the band. Just typing that number makes me feel so good about my decision to have the LapBand. I just looked up "What weighs 130 pounds?" online and found out that I've lost a newborn giraffe. Crazy cool!

The first 3-6 months after surgery, I lost 36 pounds. I gained 16 back. It has been a very slooooow weight loss process for me. Now, all of a sudden one year and 4 months after surgery (June 28, 2013) I have restriction and can only eat a bite or two of anything and feel FULL for many many hours. Needless to say, I have lost about 12 pounds in only one month.

      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.
