new here, banded in Mexico



Recommended Posts

HI,

My name is Julie, I was banded 1/9/07 by Dr. Kuri. So far I have lost 110lbs and only have 10lbs left to goal, but I find myself rather stalled out, not exactly sure what I am going to do when I actually reach my goal. I was unfilled for the month of October due to gastritis, and my fill is smaller now than it was before that. But I still feel some restriction, I am sure that is contributing to why my weight loss has slowed down. I was hoping to find some motivation with a new group of people.

You've had a very fast weight loss. Congratulations! Those last 10 pounds might require a lot more time to lose that the first 100 because your percentage of body fat is so much less. We're glad to have you share with us.

      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.
