Banded November 2005 ?



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I would just like to know anyone out there who was banded 1 year and a half ago like me and am wondering if :

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date

2. If you have had any obstacles

3. Do you still have your band

4. How much did you lose

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss?

Myself?

My surgery date was Nov. 10, 2005.

Weight was 251 and I am now 137, weight loss 114 lbs

I was a size 22 and am now a size 4-6

I made it to goal July 25, 2006

I never had any obstacles and I still have my band and I never had a fill during the whole weight loss process.

I will have maintained my weight for 1 year on July 25, 2007 and that day is coming by very quickly.

I am so happy that I did this and only wish I new about it sooner. It is the best thing that I ever did in my lifetime except marrying my husband who I love and adore.

I had a Tummy Tuck May 9th and a breast lift also and am doing very well. I am still quite swollen but that comes with the territory.

I wish everyone great success with their new and old journey. Life sure is wonderful.

Josephine

I must say, I'm not proud at all about my results. I know I can do so much better. I manipulate my band, drink while eating and don't eat Protein first. I'm coming back to this website to get support I'm lacking.

1. Did you ever made it to goal and what is your goal date - Haven't made it to my goal weight....real far from it!

2. If you have had any obstacles - So many, manipulation!!!

3. Do you still have your band - yes, I pray one day I'll get it together

4. How much did you lose - 30 lbs

5. Are you still maintaining your weight loss? yes

      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.
