Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

As of tonight we will all be BANDED!!!



Recommended Posts

We all made it! All of us are finally at the finish line. After a month of fearing, cheering, and "OMG if I ever see anymore Jell-O I am going to lose it!" (Sorry to the folks who are recently banded...you will feel that way very shortly.)

Now our new journey together begins: WEIGHT LOSS and EXERCISE! YEEHAW.... I knew we were name TENACIOUS for a reason.

As we move into November and December and get into the swing of our new bodies, and our bands it will be important that we come together as a group. And can you just imagine what the new year is going to look like for all of us? Wow we are going to be HOT!

In closing I just want to say that I am proud to be a member of the Tenacious Tens. We are now off...and running...no one can stop us now!

Count me in.. love it the TENACIOUS TEN of Bandland~~~ what a whoot!!! What a wonderful month.

OK the Good news on me ---

hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...amen!!!

I went to see my HERO, my Doc yesterday for my 2-week post-op. I am doing so good that he said ...[are you ready] ... I get my 1st fill in two weeks not having to wait till four AND all my insission are completely well so I can go swimming NOW!!!! Seeing him to get the details of my surgery and getting this great report was just so wonderful. I still can't believe it. Oh thank-you LORD...I am getting a fill that I have been waiting for over one whole year because of my 1st band leaking....I am exstatic. I may not sleep for two more weeks. I'd only loss -16lbs but it will come with restriction in time.

Amy - you are doing so great!! Have you lost all of your weight since surgery or did you do a liquid diet before hand?

I did not lose any weight before the surgery. I was in Vegas living it up in Sincity and then I went to California and had the time of my life. Got back 3 days later and it was time for surgery. My doctor did not require a pre-op diet...god bless him!

      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.
