As of today my wife and I are down 400lbs



Recommended Posts

It has been a long time since I've been on the board. With the weight loss life is to fun and busy to stop LOL. As of today Deb and I have lost a total of an amazing 400lbs. Deb have lost 168 and I have lost 232lbs. We have lost around 50lbs more than our first goals. Our fill is still tight. We many have to have some taken out if we lose any more. We are happy where we are at now. Deb has gone from a size 30 dress to a 8 and I have gone from a size 60 suit to a size 42 and 50 waist to a 32. This last picture was about 50lbs ago.

Congratulations, that's amazing. What a bonus that you two could do this together. You always have that someone there to root you on and also someone who truly understands what you are going through and you can share your hopes and fears with total acceptance.

My DH is so supportive, but try as he may, he can never truly understand.

Of course, that's why I come here!

I am SO glad you posted this thread! Being relatively new, I often wonder what happens in the coming years--and now I can see a real success story continues!!

It does seem sometimes that the only "old" banders who ever post here are those who say they've totally lost their way and have gained back 50 pounds! So it so refreshing to hear from someone who proves the band DOES work forever!!

Our heartiest congratulations to you both, Dow and Deb!! :sneaky: Your picture looks mahvelous, even WITH the extra 50!

      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.
