Hi ya,

I don't know if anyone else wants to do this but I thought it would be an idea to share pictures of our weightloss journeys?

I'll start and I hope to see many more of everyone else at whatever stage of your personal journey you are on.

I had the band in Oct 2006 and I am just over halfway to my weightloss goal.

OK, now I am not too sure and my apologies if it doesn't work, but it should.

You click on the picture button, then you go right down to the bottom of the webpage and there should be an open box to browse for your pic and to attach to your post.

I really hope it works, I feel a bit lonesome on here by myself.

Kind regards

Suzy

Ah hang on, if you go down to manage attachments that is the button you need to click on! At the bottom of the page Additional Options

Thank you Caz,

It really is one of the best things I have done in my life. But, a word of warning don't expect miracles. For awhile I thought all I had to do was carry on as normal, the band will do all the work.

The band is an excellent tool, but not a cure all. It took me awhile to get used to that but once you do it's a fantastic partnership.

When are you getting banded?

Kind regards

Suzy xx

Hello!

I am going to ask my GP about getting a band, so it will be quite a while yet.

I can eat the healthy food, it is when the depression hits or I have a bad day, that I give in and eat rubbish.

I am hoping the band will stop me feeling hungry and give me a full up feeling, so I know I will make myself ill if I overeat.

I have had too much abuse in my life, got rid of the abusers but am still left with the weight from the comfort eating.

I am looking at 2 years for the weight to come off, but I can't do it on my own.

I completely understand where you are coming from Caz.

The band will do that for you and you are certainlny going about it the right waya nd the support you will get here is fantastic.

You will have to keep in touch and let me know how things are going.

Kindest regards

Suzy

      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.
