Lost Over 100 Lbs!!!



Recommended Posts

Surgery 6/06, Dr. Spiegel in Houston. Very satisfied with results with minimal complications. I have had 2 fills and 1 unfill with the 9.75 band. Currently seems to be a little too lose but it allows me to eat more nutritionally and therefore is easier to maintain/build muscle while staying hydrated. It does require some will power but I always have the option of getting it tightened if I run into problems. This is a dream come true!

That is wonderful to hear about about! I am still trying to lose pre-op weight, I did a strict two week liquid liver shrinking diet but the 20$ scale I bought went haywire so now I am waiting for a much better WW scale from Amazon. But I am going back on the pre-op, without the added greens salad and extra oz's of chicken, just the strict pre-op diet for me from now on. My brother wants me to exercise at the Gym with him but I know If I sign up I will not go anyway, so best to workout with DVD's in the early morning.

Can you share your eating and exercise routine?

Regards.

Wow! Congrats to you!

My question: Did you lose steady or bounce around like I have done?

I was banded last April. 08 So far lost 66 lbs. My Dr. is pleased. Was a 18 now a 8/10. I have 20 more to lose till my goal. Trying to work out most days.

Please describe what you eat in a normal day.

Seems like I only eat a handful a day, but not losing.

Thanks!

      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.
