My one year band-Anniversary!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone..

Actually yesterday was my one year anniversary for being banded (Sept 11th), but I didnt get a chance to log on. I dont get to the boards too often between work and kids, etc etc, but just wanted to say thank you to everyone on here because I couldnt have had such a successful year without the tips and invaluable information I have learned on this board!!

Here are a couple of pics. The first one is from Aug 2006, where I was about 230. The second is from Monday (Sep 10th), my son's first day of kindergarten!

Congratulations on your success with the lap band! You are such a great example of the results that we all want to achieve.

Do you have any tips or suggestiions for those of us that are at 6-9 months post op? I'm currently at a plateau and feel really frustrated. I would be thrilled to lose more weight before my band-anniversary.

Congratulations again!

Terry

Wow. I cant believe it has been two years today since I had my band placed!!!

I have been quite busy and away from the forums for a long time, but thought I would post an update today..

The band has changed my life in such a positive way. I am happier, healthier, and just enjoying life!

Here is a current pic taken a couple of weeks ago at Disneyworld!

      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.
