Happy One Year Anniversary - August All Stars



Recommended Posts

:thumbup:Happy One Year Anniversary to all The August All Stars. I am also reflective since tomorrow , Aug 15th, is my one year aniv.

I am down 61lbs and feel great. Although my weight loss has plateaued, I exercise vigorously every day. I put in 35-40 minutes on the treadmill, 60 sit ups and do some light lifting.

I know I could have lost more weight with a more strict diet. My goal for year two is 25 more pounds. 2 pounds a month. I have been at 4cc in a 10cc band since February. I don't think I need another fill.

My doctor's surgical skills were great but his post band attention to patents is less desirable.. I only see the NP.

On another note, I still can't figure out how to post before and after pictures, hopefully soon.

Anyway, wife and I Celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary this October and I turn 50 in February. Big events and I feel great.

All the best to everyone and thank you for your continued support..

Hey can understand now losing the last 20 pounds slowly.

I will do the same. I am happy with my loss for the year. Most people don't even recognize me now. And it's so much fun getting "normal sized" clothing.

Congratulations to everyone on the one year anniversary

we all did so well it's wonderful.

      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.
