Recommended Posts

Hey beautiful people,

Well today is a big day for me. I stepped on the scale today and saw 267.2. I am all emotional right now as this whole thing has been a roller coaster for me. First getting the band and coming to the realization that it IS A TOOL not a solution. Working on my emotions towards food and finally picking up excersice. Guys slowly but surely my life is changing right before my eyes and I cannot beleive it. My aunt is an excellent personal trainer in Calgary (Protein diets. I never thought in a million years that I could eat rice or oatmeal. When she told me this I thought she was NUTS!!! I am so happy as when I reach 260 I am going to Calagary for personal training with her. God I wish I had her butt!! I am feeling:thumbup: this morning! I am on top of the world.

And thank you all for your support during my journey!

Sweetforlife,

I am soooo happy for you! You have worked hard and it has paid off. Enjoy your new lease on life. I was banded on Mar 19th this year by Dr C and my loss is slow like most new banders. One day I hope to be where you are today. Keep up the good work. I saw you at the symposium....you looked great!

      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.
