Recommended Posts

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to let ya know- I went shopping all day yesterday with my sister. It was a blast! I bought several shirts, sweaters and 2 pairs of jeans. SIZE 12!!!! I could hardly believe it. I did the happy dance in the fitting room! I went from a size 20-22 to a 12 in less than 3 months! I never expected to do this well! I knew I would get into a 12 at some point, I just thought it would take so much longer. I am so excited right now. I want to shout it to the world!!!!!!

Thank you for all the kind words of support and encouragement!

Good luck to you all! I'll keep ya posted!

That's such exciting news Lori! Congratulations! I will be 38 in January and I'm hoping to be down 38 pounds by then :-) I won't be banded until about a month before my birthday (if all goes well) so most of it will have to be me if I want to achieve that goal. I'm already working on it as I type! LOL

I can't wait to wear a size 12! You need to do that happy dance every time you put those jeans on!!! Whoo Hoo!

      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.
