Recommended Posts

well...i hadn't been on here for a while. its nice to see you all again and doing wonderfully! i have to get back on my path. i did reach one major lifetime goal, i was able to get pregnant and have my special little guy. i revised my goal to 185 from 150<- i think that used to be it?? when i was weighing 208, i was at a size 16 i was okay with that but i knew that loosing 20-30more lbs was going to be "it" for me.

im so jealous of you all!!!! LOL! keep it up!!!! :smile:

Here's my update since my last entry back in June. I got back up to 185 by October. Then my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. I decided to get another fill since i was able to down 2cups with no regrets. Had total of 7.5cc in my 10cc band. Things got hectic with my dad beginning his treatments that I didn't take time to notice my band was too tight. I had hard time getting fluids down. Had lots of heartburn, chest pain, and vomitting. My dad was put in hosp last week with pneumonia and neutropenia so that made things worse. I finally went back and had .25cc remv'd last Thursday and things are MUCH better. My dad's back home starting back on his treatments and my weight's already back down to 178!!!! Do not hesitate to get a little unfill if this happens to you!

Happy New Year to all the May 2008 bandsters! It's been forever since I've posted but I've been so busy. I really haven't lost any more weight. However, during the holidays I gained 10lbs but I have since then taken them off. That was a really scarely feeling. I'll be going in for a fill on Feb. 11. Keep up the great work!

I just cant break that plane!! :) Been eating good..but when monthly shows up I get pretty tight..but I do feel like I need to get more put in.

Stuck at 70 lbs loss - but, consider that I have not been paying much attention to what I am eating - I have not gained an ounce since getting banded!

I've lost 111 pounds... and I'm not done, but I feel great. Its really really hard for me to look at pictures of myself from before. I am about 1,000 times more self concious now, too. Does anyone else feel that way?

Anyway, I have another hundred (or there about) to lose, but I'm up for it! Might I recommend to anyone that has an Iphone or Itouch the "Lose It!" app? Its a fab. way to count calories :biggrin:

Congrats Sara, I use that Lose it ap and I love it! Always with me and the database is pretty extensive. And I like how I can go to previous meals and just copy them as I tend to have some of the same things a lot.

I am down 115 pounds. Wow to say that out loud is eye opening. I have 10 to 15 stubborn pounds to go. I am at 171 and am 5'9". I am wearing a medium shirt and size 10 pants. I think maybe I will be in an 8 or at least some 8s when I finish with those last few pounds.

YOU ALL are doing 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.
