ONe MOnth Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

I just realized that yesterday was one month with my band! I made it through the liquid stage from hell, then the mushie stage and now this semi-solid stage(still don't understand what semi-solid is). I have lost 23lbs and I go for my first fill on Oct. 6. he said if I am losing really good he would only do a fill if I requested one. I am gonna request it anyway. The band is meant to work with fills . I want to keep up the steady loss that I have been seeing weekly. I am trying really hard, even though I swear my nutritionist has me on an Atkins diet. Well I am so glad I made this decision. I have been getting alot of looks from the fellas lately too! I mean I can tell the difference in my face which just amazes me. Never before have I done a diet or lost weight and noticed it in my face. I have a birth defect that is called sturgy weber's oslo rondeau. It is a hemangioma that makes one side of my face bigger than the other. It always looks swollen. Now I can truly say that it just looks a tiny bit swollen . My plastic surgeon said that before she would do the last corrective surgery on the lip I would have to lose 100lbs now she told me I would only have to lose 27 more pounds and I am approved for the reconstruction on my lip(it is like normal on one side and on the other side it looks like Angelina Jolie lol). I told her I am going to wait because I will have to have a boob job. I have gone form a D cup to a C(the girls are leaving me). My mama said that when I lose 100lbs she is gonna buy me some boobs, Yea! Well enough rambling, but all in all my life is so much better now that I took a chance with this band. This is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I will try to put some pictures up when I figure out how.

      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.
