Feb. Bandsters lb. lost so far



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 2/20, lost 20 pounds so far, doc was very happy with me. As most on here, eating more, getting more hungry each day...was nice the first four or five days with zero hunger pains.

I have lost 19 pounds first week but seem like it has slowed down. I am still on liquid phase. Anyone have this happening. It seems as little is going in it would still be coming off.:thumbup:

I was banded Feb. 12th and total I've lost about 16 pounds since before surgery. I won't get a fill until the end of March, so I'm eating more. Well, I'm eating alot smaller amounts than before but I've noticed I can eat more times in the day than before. It's quite frustrating!:angry:

My doctor is very conservative and does not do fills sooner than 8 weeks, so my first fill won't be until the first week of April.

Hello All, I got my band on 2-29-08 in San Antonio, Tx by Dr. Gonzales. I can say that I am doing really good. I thought that it was going to be worst than it has been. I am getting over this clear liquid diet, but I vow to hang in there because I did not do this just to got back to old habits. I have been really craving toast with butter and jelly, but I refuse to give in. I am really thankful that I found this site and all of the information that you all have provided has been awsome. So far I have lose 5lbs since being banded....

Hi!

I was banded on February 15. According to my bathroom scales I am down 18 pounds since surgery. I won't update the ticker until I see the doctor again.

I was banded 2-08-08 and counting my 3 day pre-op diet I'm down 27 pounds. (I think the pre-op diet helped me lose about 5 pounds, I'm not sure.) It slowed down at about 25 pounds down and goes up and down a pound here and there. I'm so grateful for such quick loss. I get my first fill this week, on 3-06-08.

      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.
