Updated September Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone else does this or not, but a friend told me to freeze a Slim Fast & eat it like ice cream. I tried it & I think it taste better & it makes me feel more satisfied than if I were to just drink it.

My Dr's office just changed my surgery date from Sept 13 to Sept 17th. I am very bummed out about it. I looks like there are a lot of us getting banded on the 17th though. I have been on liquid since last friday and have lost about 19 pounds, but i am ready for something crunchy!!!

WOW 19 lbs is GREAT! I started liquids today and I have the WORST headache ever! I am going to call it a night and go to bed just as soon as I can! I could only dream of losing 19 lbs!!!! I will change your date, at least you still will have it. Maybe the 13 would have been a bad day for the dr and something might have gone wrong. EVERYTHING happens for a reason!!!

Ok, group. I need a little pick me up. I lost 14 pounds on this liquid diet in 9 days. Stupidly, to Celebrate, I went over to a friend's house and had a no/low carb dinner with (a lot of) wine. Woke up Saturday and felt like I was in college--I couldn't stop throwing up. When all was said and done I had lost another 3 pounds (which hit my goal for getting the surgery on Sept. 18 so in a way I was glad, although severely worn out). Since Saturday, I have gained 5 pounds. I can't figure it out. I'm still on the liquid diet, doing everything the same. Why am I gaining weight?

:help:

Could it be close to the time of the month? Have you been eating some low/no carb meals? I am not sure what advice I could tell you, I hope it all comes out ok! I will be praying for you!

katmeg99-If I drink alcohol, it is a guaranteed 3-10 pounds depending on how much I drink...I think it's all the sugar turning to fat, unfortunately. Drink LOTS of Water to flush it back out.

I am on day 5 of my medifast journey to lose 20 by the 21st and I have been thinking of celebrating my 10 pounds, but you convinced me I shouldn't!

Just get back on track and you will be good to go!

      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.
