Recommended Posts

Hello All:

I have not posted in a really long time but I wanted to say that I am happy and although I would have lost a lot more if not for the ice cream bad habit, I have to say that I am so glad i had my surgery. I am trying to post pictures of the day of my surgery and what I look like today but never mind that... its the way that I feel that is important right now and... needless to say, aside from the occassional self inflicted pb, I am doing awesome.

Keep on trucking people!

best,

Nilsa:thumbup:

Nilsa 52 pounds in a year is an awesome place to be! My doctor said to expect to lose a pound or two a week and judging by that formula you are right on track.

Congratulations!

You guys are doing really well it will be my one year aniversary of the band on 18sep , i got to watch the oerdoing it on nuts and cheeses, its the night time that gets me after a hectic day, but i have lost 84lbs, and have 14lbs to go, wow hoping to get there by aniversary, but havent been excercising lately as well, but as long as we eventually get there we are all heading in the right direction, and certain we are all starting to look sexy, if not sexier now, we going to make it, and we never going to get fat ever ever again --- oh except if one of you guys gets pregnant, then only momentarily. keep on going ----- down down down we go with the weight, what did you guys get to remember how far you have come?? i am going to buy a piece of jewllery,gosh doesnt time fly, especially when you start feeling good about yourself?

      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.
