Isn't It Awsome...



Recommended Posts

I have struggled with my weight all my life. Before I got pregnant I was going to the gym and killing myself eating healthy food while others around me were eating Krispy Kremes. The weight lost was almost non-existant. I got my band on 8/9/07, a week later I was exercising. For the first time in my life I could see a weight loss difference after exercising. Man that was AWSOME!!!!! It made me feel so good, it made me want to go exercise just so I could jump on the scale and see it working. My weight loss is at a plateau and I am dying for my first fill, but I just wanted to share my excitement with the rest of you all. I can't wait for my fill so I can see those results again!! Thanks for listening. :whoo:

Back in january of this year, I decided to start yet another diet & exercise attempt to lose wight. I ate a small bowl of Cereal for Breakfast, a bowl of Soup for lunch and a small dinner. I worked out at the gym for an hour 3-4 times per week. After 3.5 weeks, I weighed my self: I had gained 3 pounds. WHAT?!?!?! That was one of my last straws that made me go for the band.

Now when I exercise I really see the difference, both in the scale and in my energy level. It is really amazing. Before, even when I lost weight, I didn't have more energy. With exercise, I really do. And it feels great.

Woo!

      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.
