This thing really works!!!



Recommended Posts

Well , I have been hesitant to weigh myself because I felt like I really pigged out this weekend. First weekend back on regular foods, and of course I really can't eat that much, but I did have three meals and two Snacks for three days in a row. Got all my Protein in but also had a few things I probably shouldn't have. Of course, a half a slice of pizza compared to the three slices I could eat before- I'm going to consider that a good thing :-)

So I got on the scale this morning- and I have lost 4 more pounds!!! This band really does work- I guess I am eating less than I think!

1.4 more pounds to Onederland!!!!! I think I am going to lower my final goal weight-hence the change in my ticker!!!

      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.
