Fabulous February Banders



Recommended Posts

Hello to all my fellow February banders! I am chatting from Easton, PA. I am new to this site. Was wondering how things are progressing on your journey. Have had three fills thus far and feel a little restriction but not like I thought. I have good weight loss (59 pounds) but have to really work at it. Feel much better already. BP is normal and Cholesterol, too. So happy about that.

Glad I found fellow banders to chat with.:biggrin:

Hope to hear from some of you soon.!!!!

Keep up the great work

Tina,

Nice to meet you also. Sorry for the delay in responding but was on vacation. That was the first vacation with the band. Did pretty awesome. Walked a lot and came home losing 1 pound instead of gaining several as in the past.

Keep up the good work. It will all be worth it in the end.

Take Care. Talk to you soon.

Welcome! I was banded February 1, 2008 so I guess that makes me kind of the "senior" Victorious Valentine!

:thumbup: Wow, you have inspired me--that is an awesome weight loss! I was banded Feb. 12th, but I am just about to reach 40lbs lost. I did not have any restriction until after my 3rd fill--since then it has been steady. Isn't it great to see those numbers pop up on the scale that you haven't seen in a long time!

      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.
