Recommended Posts

good morning everyone. just wanted to check in. i had my 4th post op/fill appt yesterday. i've lost 13lbs since my last appointment 5 weeks ago and i am very excited about it. my doctor was reluctant to give me any additional restrction and i wasnt 100% sure that i needed any either, but after a long discusion we agreed that a very small addition would be appropriate (.5) and we'd see what happens.

I am so happy for you, that is awesome. Glad to hear your losing so well. I have had 2 flouroscopys within the last 3 weeks. Still trying to get it right. I went in today and got a fill and I think this one may be it. I am at 7.8cc in a 10cc. I actually felt full tonight and still do. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

Congrats, BJ!!! That is truly a wonderful feeling - the next one will be when they are too big for you, and from my experience, that is coming..... I LOVE MY BAND!! Can't wait to be able to buy 10's. Guess that's my next goal.

Good Morning Everyone!

I just had to tell you that I finally got my BODYBUGG last weekend! I've been on it a full 8 days now, and in the first week I lost 3 1/2 lbs!!!!! I'm so totally psyched now! LOL

On the flip side, I felt so good about working out, running, and the weight loss, that I overdid it a bit. I lost count doing deep knee bends during a favorite song of mine, and figure I did over 100. And this morning I can't walk! Arghhh! ;) But I will, even if it's for a short walk to loosen my muscles up!

To those of you that have been considering a Bodybugg, they are a bit expensive but well worth it! I'm so glad I have mine now!

I've stalled. :blink:

But, I am not exercising either...I am always too tired. It takes everything I have to get through work each day and by the time I get home I am on the couch. Anyone else feeling this way?

Ugh, YES I'm tired all the time. The only thing I can figure is that my body just hasn't gotten quite used to 1000 calories a day and little carbs, but I'm at a loss for any other explanation.

I was feeling that, but have just added walking into my day. I started out small- 10-20 minutes per day. Now I'm up to 5 plus miles most days and I feel great. It took a while but I have lots of energy now.

Sometimes 1000 cals is too low for some people. I know some days I dip below 1000 and feel a bit slugish.

Hey all.

In a 14/16!! Haven't been since High school. Last night I went through my closet and got rid of all my fat clothes, and replaced them with my hand me down thinner clothes. Thank goodness for friends with the lapband.

I am getting to the gym as often as I can. I have been chasing after 4 kids, so that has to count for the days i don't go. My hubby is awesome, and helps me out alot. I am 15lbs away from being in the onederland! I can't believe it!

I am so glad to hear all of you are well!

Keri

      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.
