Recommended Posts

Hello, guys I'm just so excited and thrilled. I went on my lunch break to the mall to use my bath & body works coupon. After I left I went in to the store next to it which happen to be Learners.. I haven't been to Learners in over 9 yrs or so.. I was inquiring I wonder if I can wear there clothes now.. Needless to say I went in tried on a XL dress and an XL shirt. OMG!!! how happy I was, I can't even begin to explain the joy and happiness I felt. I end up purchasing both items.. I thank God for my band. I'm thankful for the pounds I've lost. It might not be a drastic weight loss but I thank God for the lbs I've lost. I'm looking forward to loosing more weight on this journey.. I wish I knew how to do a flip. I just wanted to share my joy with all my lap buddy friends. :(

Banded 04/15/09 288lbs day before band

      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.
