Recommended Posts

Hi All!! On the 10th of this month will be a month with my band and I have lost 17lbs since surgery!!! It's great. I feel great and I started back working out a week after surgery. I just wanted to say thanks for all the motivation. Good luck to All and keep up the good work. For the people that just got banded (less than a week) the pain will all go away soon. Just believe that this was a great decision!!!

Take care:thumbup:

Thanks for posting Dina. That is encouraging to me. I was banded on Tuesday, April 8. I'm still in pain, but I can see how it has improved today. Congratulations, you are doing great!

I had my surgery on Monday of this week. Each day I'm getting better and better. I finally have lost the 2.8 pounds I put on from being in the hospital!!!! Since pre-op started, I'm down almost 16 pounds.

When you say you started working out a week out from surgery, what are you doing? Are you walking, or actually using weights? I feel confident I could do the treadmill for about 30 minutes, but I know I wouldn't be able to walk as fast as I normally would.

Congratulations on your weight loss!:huh2:

Awesome job! I was banded on March 4th and have lost 40.5. I have not started working out yet, but hope to this week. This is the best thing I have ever done! I love the band. It has really changed my life. What is your work out routine? I think I am going to start walking.

      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.
