30, just banded and ready for my new journey!



Recommended Posts

Hi 30-somethings! I was just banded yesterday and am feeling great. So excited about this new journey. I'm 30, live in Seattle, WA with my dear husband and 2 dogs (boston and rat terrier). I'm a director of interactive strategy at an amazing design agency (HL2) and everyone at the office is so supportive and excited for me. I even started a blog to document my weight loss journey/life with a band which is a big step as I used to be so embarrassed and self conscious about my weight/attempts to lose. Now I'm facing the music, being honest about my weight (which includes my drivers license weight!) and will get to my goal. Thank you all in advance for your support!

Sorry, I misread your info. I thought you lost 13 pounds mighty fast, or that you were counting the weight before the pre-op fast.

Haha - I wish! Only 3 lbs so far (from the pre-op diet) but I'm sure I'll be at 13 soon...or at least I hope! :w00t: Well - now you've inspired me. :thumbup:

      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.
