I just wanted to share. I had my band in Jan 07. I have lost 29 lbs. Have cut my metformin pills in half, no heartburn or reflux. I was wearing a 44D and a 24/26. Now I am a 40C!!!!!! and this past weekend all I wore were size 16!!!!!!!!!!! It felt great. Everyone at the dog show I was at were amazed. Plus I ran the courses of agility the best I have ever done!!!!!!!!:whoo:

My band might be slower than most but I sure am reaping in the rewards!!!!!!!!:P

Thanks for being here and letting me share.:)

HELLO ALL JUST WANTED TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT I HAVE LOST 23# SINCE THE END OF MAY AND THAT INCLUDEDS THE 10DAY PREOP DIET. :whoo:I WAS JUST BANDED ON AUG 20TH YEAH... ALL IS WELL, FEEL GREAT SO FAR. TAKEING PAIN MEDICATIONS AND DOING FINE. I AM HAVING A LITTLE DIARRHEA THOUGH. IM SURE THAT IT IS NORMAL THOUGH. I HAVE STARTD CRUSHING MY METFORMIN AND MY ZOCORE AND PUTTING THEM IN Water OR SUGER FREE COOLAID TO TAKE THEM IN THE AM. BOY THEY ARE BITTER AND TASTE NASTEY. HOPEFULLY WHEN I LOSE MORE WEIGHT, I WILL NOT HAVE TO TAKE THEM. I HAVE TWO MORE DAYS OF CLEAR liquid diet AND THEN I CAN START ON THE FULL liquid DIET UNTIL I SEE THE DOCTOR ON AUG 28TH FOR MY FOLLOW UP. SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CREAMED SOUPS... I DID GO OUT AND PURCHASE THE MAGIC BULLET BLENDER TO HELP WITH THE food TASKS AND SUCH.. WOW I DID'NT REALIZE THAT IT DOES SO MUCH STUFF. WELL THANKS FOR LISTENING,CHAT MORE LATER

Congrats!!!! That is AWESOME!

I look forward to the day I can get into a 16. Strangely I've lost almost 70 lbs ans STILL haven't changed sizes! Odd, huh? 30 lbs and you've changed a couple! How cool is that? That's wonderful!!

I keep telling myself that one day I'll just all of a sudden have a shift and my size will change drastically. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

      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.
