July Butterflies Master Thread



Recommended Posts

:) Congrats to all you bandiversary folks out there. I'm not until the 26th. Doesn't it feel good to have lost all the weight we have? I got a .25 fill last Tuesday. I can already tell I'm not eating as much. Had a quarter of a hamburger on ww bun for dinner and 5 or 6 zucchini fries. Filled me to the brim. It is so much fun to buy smaller clothes. My feet have even gotten smaller. Went from a 7w to a 6 or 6 1/2med.

Have a great Independence Day. God Bless America!

I'm here. I went to my dr. yesterday and I had 7.4 in a 10 band. I was having a lot of trouble eating Protein and was eating more slider foods. They removed .7 of Fluid and I am already doing better. Hope to be at goal by this time next year!

Good to hear from you. Wow! you have a lot of fill. I know, when I needed an unfill.........I was miserable. Pb'ing all the time. Now I am trying to build back. I go on the 29th hopefully for my last fill for awhile. I too, hope to have reached goal by the end of next year.

I'm here. Not losing weight, but not gaining either. I am STILL not exercising.:confused: I just feel lazy. I am happy with my loss and just hope to keep going, albeit, slowly this next year. 80lbs isn't too bad.

I'm also waiting for that blasted ticker to move. my fill is still at 5.2 I'm gonna stop being a chicken and call for an appt. Monday morning. I haven't had one since the begining of Feb. I just wish my fill center had fluro. I would like to see whats going on in there. It's kinda hard for me to guess when I have enough or to much, but so be it, it is what it is. And as far as the exercise I wish I could really get into it but it just doesn't seem to go that way. I see people getting into running and so on, It sounds great but when I try most exercise I just don't get that warm fuzzy feeling they seem too. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Congats to all.

      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.
