I am so proud of me today. It has been 12 weeks since my surgery. I hit 2 goals today, I lots 36 pounds so far (goal 1 was 35) and I am now under 250Lbs!!   I have gone in the following areas. My dress pants use to be a 22, and now they are 16. My jeans use to be a 24 and now they are an 18. My shirts use to be a 3x and now they are an 1x. It wont be long before I am completly out of plus size cloths, which I want more then anything by my wedding on July. I started shopping in plus stor

Take my own advise

I just read a blog of someone who is a little down and discouraged because the weight is not coming off as quick as they had hoped. I posted the following message.   I was banded 2 months ago. I am currently down 28lbs in total. 13 of that was on the post op diet, which means 15 lbs in 2 months. Try to remember that the average weight loss is 1 to 2 lbs per week. You have lost over 3 lbs a week! Good job. Also try to think back to all the other diets you have been on, have any of them lasted

8 Weeks And counting

I was banded 8 weeks ago, and I am having my ups and my downs. I have lost 27 lbs, but I have been pretty stationary in this area for a while. Inchs are still coming off slowly but at least there coming off. I had my first fill 2 weeks ago. When the doctor put my band on he put 3ccs in and then added another 1cc 2 weeks ago. I still dont really feel the restriction that everyone talks about, but I have another fill booked for Febuary 8. I was hoping to be down 30Lbs by christmas, and now w

3 weeks Since I was banded

I am feeling very down on myself today. I weighted myself on Sunday and have gained back almost 4 lbs. I was down 24lbs since I started my pre op diet, and now I have gained 4 lbs back. I havent been eating anything close to what I was and I just dont get it. I have not been exercising, but thats because last Friday I split 2 of my incisions and was in a lot of pain again.   I just dont know what to do. Its so discouraging. I am not going for my first fill until January 4. I am so scare

10 Days post op

So I became an official bander on November 22. I am recovering nice from the surgery. I have lost a total of 21 lbs, 13 of those pre op. My band was put in with 2cc and I have my first fill booked Jan 4. I stayed on the liquid diet for the first week, and as of monday moved on to blended foods. I am having trouble getting my protien up because I can not handle another shake. Instead I am trying to eat high protien foods like non fat cottage cheese, low fat tuna, and egg salad. Im starting

First Milestone

Well Im 3 days from surgery now and starting to get nervous and worried. I have managed to stick to the pre op diet and have zero cheats. I had a complete melt down last Saturday, but stayed on track. I am very proud of myself. I have lost 10.4 lbs as of today and am very happy for myself to hit my first milestone. Im starting to notice the weight loss already, and so are others. People have noticed in my face, and I have noticed that my pants cover my shoes a lot more, which is a great fe

10 Days away

Well the count down is on. I saw my sergeon Wednesday for my pre op consult and he want over all the ins and outs. I found out that I did not miss understand him, that I am truely only allowed to drink these shakes and have some veggies. However the shakes he put me on fill me up and I find I dont need the veggies really even. They tasted bad at first, but I am use to them now. Today is the 5th day of my liquid diet, (I was excited and desided to start a day early) and I am already down 6lb

Liquid Diet Questions - Please Help

Hi! I am on day 4 of the liquid diet. I have not cheated even one inch. I have drank about 3 liters of water a day, only had the doctor recommended shakes, and only eaten Veggies.   Is there anything eles I can eat at all? I havent met with my surgeon to go over all of this yet, as it was a very quick desision and surgery was booked 16 days later. I just really feel like I need to eat more, or even taste something for the first time in 4 days.   Heres hoping Im misunderstanding somethin

Thanks

Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I have made the desision to go ahead and get he surgery. My surgery date is November 22, so today is day 2 of my liquid diet. I loved looking at the results some of you are having. I am getting married is 36 weeks, and it would be so nice to loose a chuck of weigth before them!

Making the Choice

Hello, I am trying to make a good desision and want some advise from people who are or have been in my shoes. I am 28 years old and about 140lbs over weight. I have struggled with my weight all my life. In the province that I live in they do not allow private lap band surgerys, nor do they cover them at all. I would have to travel and the surgery would cost me about 18,000. My husband and I are prepared to pay that if this could mean a longer healther life that I could have with my family.
