Lucky # Sevens- July 07 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I have MIA since August but am caught up on most of the posts. Everyone seems to be doing well and I am inspired by the weight loss! It's a comfort to know everyone has the same ups and downs as I do.

I just had my 2nd fill this past Saturday and feel less hungry and way more satisfied. I still think I can eat quite a bit but I am happy with what I got. I haven't yet experienced the wonders of pb'ing or sliming and am hoping to avoid it all together. I went to a new fill doctor this time and am happy to have found someone who wants me to get fills on a regular schedule and actually use my band. I found out with my first fill that my surgeon actually is against getting fills. Believe it or not, he actually told me to focus on eating my greens and sugar-free Jello. Um, hello, but I'm fat not stupid!! I think I could write a book on nutrition info on different foods. I was pretty p.o'd after my 1st fill. He will not be seeing me again!

My goth name: Crying' Shame. Kind of boring, dead fart and petrified anus are way better.

Keep on truckin' Lucky Sevens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted in what seems like ages. I have been reading upon other posts though. I went to the doctor for my second fill yesterday. I saw the PA instead of my last fill doctor. She was more than happy to give me .5cc in my band which brings me to a total of 1.5cc. I was up and down over the past month and according to the scale I regularly use, I'm down 4lbs over a month's time. On the doctor's scale I'm only down 1 lb but I'm not complaining. The fill before this 1 didn't make a big difference in the amount of food I'm able to eat and I'm hoping that this fill will do the trick. The PA explained once again that I may not feel the effects of the fill until 2 weeks from now but this time, If I don't feel a major difference, then I'm insisting on getting another fill in 2 weeks.

My level of excercise has greatly decreased over the past month but I'm determined to get back in the swing of things.

Hope everyone is doing well tonight. Hi Dini! Thanks for the kind words.

I've been having trouble with food of late. Seems everything makes me slime a little the last couple of days. Getting old! Food doesn't seem to be that enjoyable lately. But, can't really complain. Haven't lost in last few days, but think I'll make my goal by the cruise. Would like to be 162 by then.

Take care!

Brandy, I was having the sliming issues as well. My doctor told me it was not drinking enough Water. The slime comes from the stomach so the more water you drink the thinner it makes it...I eeeek at water, but that sliming is way worse!!

My god, I picked up a 30 pound weight yesterday of my DH and thought to myself "that is how much weight I have lost" it really put it into perspective.

Hi Gang - Looks like everyone is getting their 2nd or 3rd fills and doing pretty good.

I am blue today - don't know why - there really is no reason - just a blue day - I hate to adimit but it's hell being female with hormones - thank God no more periods - but still get moody sometimes.....

I have people coming over for a reunion meeting at 6:30 tonite - gotta serve something - figured a coffee cake & coffee/tea - but I'm going to tell you right now - as soon as the thingie is over - it's going in the trash or someone else is taking it home..

Well you know i am a big advocate of only weighing yourself once a week - but since i have only 1 lbs to make that 40 lbs gone i have been stepping on that evil wicked enemy of ours - and it did say I made that 40 lbs gone - but won't be official until Thrusday which is my weigh in

day...

Well, talk to you all later - hope everyone is doing good - and remember i am right there on your shoulder - whispering - "you don't need it - put it down - throw it away"

Ok....I got the courage to change my avatar from my cute yorky dog to myself. I figure it is time to let some of the most important people in my life see how I look. DO NOT look at my hair!!!!! LOL I am in the stages of growing it out and it is terrible to try doing anything with it. The pictures it looks even worse because I did it this AM and it is now after a whole day of running around. HAHA

      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.
