I've lost a small child!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello all

I'm fairly new to this site but am so excited I had to tell about it, and hope it helps those who have not yet had their surgery and need encouragement. I just ended my 1 week post op visit. Since starting my pre-op diet on thanksgiving day. I have lost 24lbs!!! thats equal to most 2yr olds. I lost 11 pre-op and 13 since 12-09-08 when I was banded. I had second thoughts prior to this and difficult times this first week on my Clear Liquids, But this pay off makes me so happy that I have done this and am exited for what my new Banded future holds...

Alei

Starting 363/surg. day 352/ today 339.

Wow that's great, and congratulations! How rewarding to lose so much in just a few weeks. I haven't been banded yet (waiting for approval, but hoping to get it done in January 09), but results like yours make me even more excited!

Looking forwarding to reading more about your progress! :)

Thank you and best of luck on your journey.It's the best thing you can do for yourself The first week is bad. on the third day I was so upset and even hungry that I cried in my kitchen but once that passes it will slowly get better.

Keep me posted, best of luck.

      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?

      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.
