Way to go Idaho!!!!

What a big weight change - I'm sure it was a moment to get on the scale and have it move in the right direction.

Hello to all May-Dazers out there....Well, for me, One month (surg date 05/05/05) has come and gone. I have had my first fill...I am down 33 pounds....I started Curves yesterday and I feel great! I dont know if the fill is working....we will see. I understand that it takes a couple of days for it to kick in. I just ate dinner. Some chopped up chicken with salsa and cheddar cheese...looked nasty but tastes really good.

Okay...just checking in with ya'll

I was wondering how all the May Bansters were doing. :( I am now down 20 pounds but that's not "official per the doctor" but our scales measure the same so I will count it...lol. I don't go back til the 28th so I will have to keeping drinking the Water, eating the Protein and riding the exercise bike. Congrats May bandsters!!!!! Keep us all posted.

Hey May Bandsters....

I am dragging this thread up from the archives to check in on everyone...Hows it going?? I had surgery 5/5/05....(I like saying that date.) I am down about 48 pounds. I go for a check up and possible fill on 8/30...I am in between clothe sizes, so most of my jeans are too loose, then some of them are a bit too tight. I don't like anything to be too tight on my port scar. Shirts, I am still wearing a size 22-24 but my boobs are shrinking. Hopefully the shirt size will change soon. I have about 60 pounds to go till I reach my goal. I will be under 200 by the end of October...soo its going slow and steady. They say thats what wins the race, slow and steady......I have had two fills so far...I am up to 2.0 cc's right now. I think I need a touch to be added to that. I can eat regular portions right now. We will see what Dr Kwon thinks.....

All right guys...I look forward to hearing about you/from you all.....Hope all is well!

TTYL

Hi to all my fellow May band buddies!!! I was banded 05-05-05

and am doing GREAT!!! I have had 2 fills so far, currently at 3.1cc in 4 cc band. Does that mean I cannot get very much more restriction????any way, I have lost 33 pounds so far and down to smaller clothes too. Why is it that my breasts have gotten so much smaller first??haha For the first time in years my stomach is smaller tahan my breast though and I'm kinda likin that.

My divorce will be final in a couple of weeks and he said he cannot tell that I have lost weight. everyone else has noticed, even people who I only casually know have noticed!!

I hope every one is doing good and feeling better about themselves. Has anyone else noticed how much more energy you have?

      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.
