First major victory



Recommended Posts

Today I stepped on the scale and it read 300.4 lbs. I'm now down 50 lbs from my highest weight, which was recorded at my doctor's office on 2/20, 8 days before surgery and 2 days before I started my liquid diet. I see the doctor again on Wednesday and hope to lose 1 more pound by then to be under the 300 mark forever!!

Have I mentioned that I LOVE my band? :blush:

Congrats Jaime!!! We're really close in our date and how it's been going for us. Loved the feeling that came with dropping below 300. Enjoy and reward yourself for all your hard work.

Jaime, that is so great! You are so close to Twoderville I can see you driving right through those gates. You should be so proud of yourself, now don't you feel like you've accomplished so much?

I've been right there with you, so I know where you're coming from. This is so doable. Now, just dial that entry code and we will be waiting for you to drive right in!

Right on sister!! :::clapping:::

      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.
