I Have Been Banded For One Year



Recommended Posts

Hi every body.Last week was my band anniversary. I started at 249 and now I ame 193. I have lost 56 lbs. I had hoped to loose 60 lbs by now. But I think I am doing good especially since I have never had a fill or had a PB. I plan on loosing about 30 more pounds but I already feel so much better and have more confidence, and its great to get some new clothes out of the regular people size. I am very grateful for my band...Best wishes...Janie

CONGRATULATIONS JANIE!

You are my hero...I am shooting for never having a PB as well...and I'd say that 4 pounds out from your goal is still a success!

Maybe you could share with us what you've been doing to be so successful????

      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.
