I was banded on 2/15/08 and have "only" lost 13 lbs, My doctor won't fill me until I lose more. I am not cheating, following the diet and exersizing!:eek:. I know it will come. Positive thoughts.
I'm also on liquids(banded 1/15) Lost 10 lbs. Now no more. Everyone is different with their weight lost. Remember to only eat when you feel hungry not because you think you should. I have my second weigh in tomorrow, I know I haven't kept up with the previous weight lost but.. oh well, I'm doing all that I can.
It's the first steps of a long journey.
Just had my first weigh-in .5 kilo/day..Dr. Mohammed very pleased. I have 'waist line obesity" a real killer.
Banded 15/1/2008 Doha, Qatar
131 Kg
23/1/2008 126.7Kg
I was banded 15/1/08:
Juices, teas and even coffee are allowed by my Dr. I'm a vegetarian so Baxter's assorted soups watered down and liquidfied have worked and baby hot cereal(no added sugars) are yummy. I haven't been hungry though, but I know I need to eat.
I was banded on Jan. 15. and am having a bit of anxiety..thinking it isn't going to work, and that there isn't a support group here in Qatar that I have found (yet).
Just got home from banding/ Dr. Mohammed Al Amadi at Al Amadi Hospital Doha, Qatar. I believe I was the only western woman they have done. I stood out:smile:.
Beginning weight 288 target weight 150-160
I live in Doha, and am having Al Amadi hospital, Dr. Mohammed Al Amadi is doing the proceedure. It looks as if I am one of the few 'western' people he has done.
