How Much Have You Lost So Far?



Recommended Posts

Well after of a gain of 2 lbs at my November fill appt I maintained that without gaining or loosing... Of course eggnog and goodies didnt help.

I think my fill might have been a little to tight then. I ahd heartburn a couple of times and could only eat maybe 3 oz. and its funny how those foods that are full of carbs like ... lets say... fudge... will slide right on down through the band :/

Well ive gotten back on track since the first and am now past the big FIVE OOHHHH mark !!!

I wanted it by thanksgiving but fell off the wagon with the eggnogg and fudge and the gym.... ugh i was way bad about not going

but things got themselves quick started and im down 51 lbs now .... and im eating right and have been getting in 3 to 4 oz. and am never hungry... have to actually work to get in my Water too...

Going to ask about if this is too tight or just my SWEET... SWEET spot

I haven't been here for a while. I was at 55 lbs right before Xmas, then gained 3 lbs. Got that off and now since the first (Today is the 7th Wed.) I have lost two more. EEE Ha ha. I try to get out of exercise every now and then but I am back at it.

I was at 30 pounds off in September..I left spain (and my surgeon) and haven't had a fill since... I gained 10 pounds up to Christmas.. and wondered if I would ever get back into this whole thing. I go back to Spain in June and wanted to show my surgeon what I have achieved... still looking for a fill dr who will take me... very hard ...

BUT... I have just lost 14 pounds in 5 days.. and it isn't band related.. My boyfriend and I broke up one week ago... my life has been turned upside down... and then 3 days ago I found out that I may never get my Australian Permanent Residency visa even though I lodged it a year ago and have been trying to do it for 13 years...

..... no appetite... I didn't eat for 5 days.. and only have just started on a slim fast can a day.... just can't face food (maybe my breakthrough.. the first time I haven't turned to food in a crisis).....

not a healthy way I know.. but hey.. am 33 pounds down now..and want to keep it going now I have had the kick (in the heart) start that I needed again...

well done all..

Ahhh, Kizzie, sorry to hear of your broken heart. He doesn't know what he had when he let you go. Hope your visa/residency works out. What a global life you lead with Spain, US and Australia. Do you travel for your job??

      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.
