My band works!



Recommended Posts

so i'm down 40+ lbs since i started with pre op, which is about 30 since having the band..

seeing the scale say 240-anything...just blew me away, its been since early 2007 the last time i saw that number.

now when i was going up i thought i was going to cry at 248....but gosh on the way back down 248 never looked so good!

i tried over and over to lose weight (story of our lives) and a few times before i had lap band surgery i got to 250.0 and could never break into the 240's

249.8 was just the magic number for me, to let me know that my band is making a difference, and OH MY i did it, (ok me and the band did it)

just had to share, i'm so excited!!! i feel like if i can get to the 240's (which i tried sooooooooooo hard to do this year and couldn't) then there is NO reason that i can't meet goal...i don't think i've been this excited since the day i scheduled my surgery!

thanks for listening

good luck to all!

Sasha~ I am right there with you! I wanted to shout from the rooftop last week when I saw 249. I honestly have no idea when I weighed this last?

Maybe back in 2001 when I got married? I had some short lived weight loss due to stress and IBS....but after the ceremony it returned and then some (as usual).

Have you been measuring as well?? I love seeing the inches go down, down, down!!

      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.
