banded on April 8, 2005

surgery day weight was 223

current weight is 197

I am 5'5"

As I type this, I am wearing size 18/20 exercise pants from Wal-Mart. The are snug in the butt/legs (but not too bad or I wouldn't have them on!) but a bit too roomy in the waist area. My shirt is a 22/24 but it is way big. I could do a 20 comfortably but I like my clothes big, so...

I have lost a total of 22 1/2 inches from my body. Here's the breakdown as of this morning:

Arms -1/2 inch each

Bust -3 inches

Bra Band -2 inches

Waist -4 inches

Abs -3.5 inches

Hips -3 inches

Thighs -2 inches each

Calves -1 inch each

You didn't ask for all of that but I JUST measured this morning and I'm so excited to have lost this many inches!! It's happening! I love my band!!!

Havent been banded but am 5ft 10, 108 kg (about 240 I think?). Size 20 - thats a US 18. Kinda fat and dumpy but not fat enough, surgeon doesnt want to see me, so I have to go it alone. I've lost a bit over the last few weeks, losing motivation a bit now though. I should be around 154 (70kg). That was the weight I maintained for a long time and felt great at.

Jachut, Where in Oz are you? The lady in hospital next to me only weighed 86kgs and was banded by my surgeon in Perth - she had just been diagnosed with diabetes though so that was probably a contributing factor. If you are having health problems due to your weight I am sure that a surgeon would at least see you and talk to you. Go pour you heart out to a nice GP and get a referral and then they will have to see you. Good luck with it honey!!

      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.
