Hi Ladies,
I haven't been on here in so long and thought I would update things. I am so moved to hear from all of you.
I really don't have any secrets besides take your protein!!! Let your band work for you...it will do it's job if you let it. At the beginning of my band adventure I did have a personal trainer for about 6 months and that got way to expensive. I had to stop...and haven't worked out since. I have had about 7 fills. The first 5 were small...about .25 cc's...I wasn't feeling restriction and was still hungry. I wasn't in the "green zone" so at fill 6 I told my doctor I needed more and I got 1.5 cc's and that's when things changed!!! So as of today I am at 175 pounds I've never been this size in my life. I want nothing more than the same for you ladies -

Hi all!!! Was banded on 04/15 sorry for the delay in getting you all an update on how things went. I am back to work this morning and am trying to get back in the groove of things. Five days and now work....shewww I didn't know what to do! But, surgery went well...and the doc put in a standard band!!!! He said he could tell I did really well on the pre-op diet, my liver was small and very little fat around it! So those of you not yet to surgery...make sure you stick to that diet!! It will be the best for you in the end. Surgery day was fine...the anesthesia really kicked my butt...couldn't wake up for nothing...but the actual surgery lasted 30 mins...was in recovery for about another 30 and was on my way home. Got home took my meds as instructed and crashed on the recliner pain wasn't too bad that day...was still really out of it. The next day was very uncomfortable...walked around as much as possible but don't feel I walked around enough. The gas was horrible. Friday was better... Saturday I went out and about with family in town...Sunday helped around the house and today I'm back to work! The only things I will say is a little "different" feeling is the hunger feeling...I kinda feel hungery but not really...sounds wierd I know..don't know how to explain....not sore at all....I know alot of people complain about their port hurting...my port is located on my chest...and have to say it doesn't hurt really at all...kinda feels like bruse mostly. Other than that...all is good..still feel a little week...but I'm sure that will pass. Good luck to everyone!!!! -
I'm putting me on a crash diet pretty much. Sugar Free jello, protein bars...and protien drinks...lost 8 pounds since tuesday when they weighed me in Pre-op!! And I hope I can keep it up!

Hi Y'all!! Okay so I had my pre-op (or as the nurse called it Pre-Admit) on Tuesday the 7th. Got all my test done!! Everything looked good! The Doc said I need to lose 5 pounds before surgery...made me all scared that if I didn't and my liver was too big they would have to close me up and do it again when I did....AT MY COST! But they aren't requiring any liquid diet before sugery...just a "sugar buster's diet" And I can't lose 5 pounds in a week on that!!!! Grrr...so I am determinded....drinking 100 ounces of water a day and taking protein drinks for breakfast, eating sugar free jello for lunch, protein bars for a snack...and grilled chicken and broccolli at dinner... I was 297 on tuesday and am now 294 today!!! Yeah!! working on those 5 pounds!! Which I am sure it is all water weight! That evening of my pre-op I went to my first support group meeting they invited me to since I am now "good to go" with surgery. It was so inspirational!!! We talked about working out and protein!! Got to get those firm bodies!!! To see these women and men before and after and have them physically standing there...was a pow right in the face!!! I CAN DO THIS! They have clothing exchanges...they are going to have a Fashion show in a month! And I'm going to be ready!!! And the doc was there that night to...the fashion show was his idea!!! hahaha! which is really cool cause he had lap-band done as well...and is doing great!!! He better be in the fashion show to!! Any way..just wanted to check in on my bunnies!!! Hope all those that had surgery is recovering well...and getting great support! HUGS! And those of us that are fast approaching that S day! Good luck to us! and many prayers!! Hugs! Sylvia -
Surgery date is on the 15th!!! Doc isn't requiring me to be on a liquid diet before going to surgery...but God knows I don't want him to close me back up because my liver is too big!! And he said he wants me to loss some weight....I'll do what ever I have to to get to that "Big Goal"!!
-
Awww...Yeah..getting close. My doc isn't requiring a liquid diet before surgery...but I put myself on one anyway...he wants me to lose some more weight before I go under the knife....God knows I don't want him to close me back up because my liver is too big....
But this is just a small step I am doing to get to the "Big Goal" I can't wait for me to be healed enough to work out!! Me and that eliptical are going to be best friends!! Thanks for the pep talk! You are such a sweetie...Keep posting those pictures! You are motivation for us all!!! -
Love the new pics!!! You look smokin! You are my motivation!!!
