7 Months already



Recommended Posts

It's my 7 month bandiversary today! I saw my Bariatric Nurse and Surgeon for a check up this morning. They are extremely happy with my weightloss so far. They asked how much more I was hoping to lose, I said another 40lbs to which they said no, that's too much. They said I was to get to a weight I was happy with and could maintain. I asked about PS too. Again, I could have a TT now but if I am still losing weight there wouldn't be any point. I think possibly another 20lbs or so and we'll look into scheduling a TT.

Sadie:biggrin:

WOW - 7 months, and the time really has gone quickly, hasn't it?

Congratulations on your weight loss to date, and keep us posted on the TT plans. I am thinking of it (longingly), but that's a way off - both for the weight I have to lose, and the money to afford it.

One goal at a time...

I still have 23 more days to go before it's my 7 month anniversary (the sucky part about getting banded at the end of February), but I hope I can lose at least 4 more pounds by that time. I doubt I will since the way my body works is weird.. I won't lose anything for a few weeks then I drop 4 lbs.. or I go up and down the same two pounds and then drop a few out of no where. I guess it all evens out eventually though.

I'll probably need a TT, but I"m planning to try and get prego sometime next year and don't want to get the TT until after I have a baby... Man, I can't wait until my doctor tells me 40 more lbs is too much. HA HA HA! that day won't happen for quite a while, but I can dream. :party:

Congrats Sadie! Must feel amazing to have someone tell you that would be too much to lose. You've done a great job losing it. You'll have to keep us up to date on the TT too. I know many of us are very curious about it and how to get insurance to cover it. I know I'm planning to run to a doctor with every little rash.

      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.
