First Goal Met!! Almost to Onederland!



Recommended Posts

Hello all!! First I must say this forum has been an invaluable resource for me during my bandster journey. I was banded on Feb. 19 and as of yesterday, I am down 50 pounds!! I have never lost that much. Anyway, 50 pounds was my first goal and I met the deadline I set for myself. Plus, I am just 3 pounds away from Onederland. Haven't been there for over 10 years.

If anyone out there is discouraged, or wondering if the band really can work- it does and it can!! I love the control over food the band gives me. Best wishes to everyone on their bandster journey! :biggrin2:

Congrats Cookienay! What an exciting time for you! I hope that I can get to that point and be just as excited. I was banded last Wed (July 2) and am already down 9 lbs! I keep wondering if this could continue and your message has really inspired me! (I always think in the back of my mind if this is really going to work for me.) Thank you for your words of encouragement and I'm sure you will be in onederland very soon! Congratulations and Best of Luck with your continued weight loss!

cookienay, you & I are on approx the same path. Congrats to you:thumbup: OH, and to me.

However, i'm a little further away from onederland then you are at this point. I was banded Feb 28th and have lost 45 lbs so far. My goal is to hit 50 lbs by the end on this month, which will be my 5th month aniversary. My next goal is to hit onederland...i'd like to do this by Labor Day. I know....thats a big goal 17 lbs...but i started a bootcamp workout this week. We'll see. Whats bad is i can remember the last time i was there (only for a short time) December 2004---i weighed 195.

Has this not been the best thing we've done????? congrats again.

      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?

      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.
