My 6-Month Bandiversary, ONEderland, My Victories . . .



Recommended Posts

Hi All! I am happy today because it is my 6-month bandiversary and a few days ago I made it to ONEderland!!!!!!!

Sorry about my crooked toes!

Anyways, I have lost 65 pounds (14 were pre-op diet) and dropped over 10 points on my BMI. I finally weigh less -- and quite a bit less now -- than my husband.

For the most part, I shop at normal clothing stores, but I can still wear the red "1s" at LB and some 14s at LB. Soon, though, very soon, I will be done with LB for FOREVER!

I exercise a lot. I eat small portions. I've only PB'd once -- I was running late and thought I could eat fast. Woops! Never make that mistake again. Overall, it's been going VERY well and I'm soooooooo happy that I got my band!

Thanks for listening and for cheering me on and for answering all the crazy questions I've had in the past months leading up to my band and after I got it. This has been great!

Thank you.

Thanks! Me, too. But, you know . . . if I don't it won't be the end of the world. I'm just super happy to have made it this far and everything from here on out is just sugar-free icing on a carb-free cake! :whatchutalkingabout

      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.
