Hey guys, I need some help. I am wondering now if I am doing the right thing. Everyone keeps telling me (dr, nurse, dietician) that I will only loose 1-2 lbs a week. And then I read about people not ever loosing anything. I am doing the band because the R En Y seems too drastic for my age. BUT if I won't loose on the band what is the point. Maybe I am jsut having a bad day, maybe it is reading too much negative stuff. PLEASE PLEASE give me some sucess stories! NO MORE BAD NEWS PLEASE!!! :help: :help:

Thanks. I doubt came form all of the BAD stories. SO yes, I do want to hear some sucess stories. It is human to want more than may be given to you, and I will be the first to say I would like to loose more than 2 lbs a week. BUT after everyone helping me I KNOW now that it is better to make a change that will last forever than a quick drop that will never change me! The problem is me, not food. I want to know that someone else has felt the same way! Thank you to all of you. You actually helped me greatly! Thank you! Hugs to all.

Lol...I know I have! Thank you for reminding me!

Thank you all. I appreciate the support and it makes me feel so good to know that other people have done it! When I went for Pre-op all the nurse, dietician and dr talked about where the negative things of people not loosing. That was hard to listen to! I just needed someone to tell me that they are doing it, so I can too! I hug you all and congratulate you for your achievements! I will learn to make the right choices. I have to do this! :kiss2: Thank you all!

Congratulations to you!! I am very happy for you! You are on your way girl! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thanks. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO happy for you, and jelous...lol

I am not a fan of the protien drinks. I personally hate them, but I would not be having surgery without them. A good one is: 1 serving protien vanilla 1 tsp frozen pinapple concentrate 1 tsp frozen orange juice concetrate 1 tsp coconut extract 4-5 ice cubes Blend it all together. Kinda like a pina colada. I can drink this one! I have been on the protien 5 days now and lost 13 lbs! SO it is worht it by far! :faint:

Great job! What an inspiration!

13 pounds gone! BYE BYE! WOO HOO! All this with the protien diet. I should rock on the band. Lol...:faint:

Just a few days on the 2 week pre surgery diet and I have lost 10 lbs. That rocks. I must say that is the ONLY bright spot in the diet. I hate the protien shakes. I can't stand the fruit drink. BUT the weight loss makes it all worth wild. GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :faint:

Congratulations to you! Great job! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: Standing ovation for you!

Dr. Farhan @ Hurley BC. He is very nice and the staff is very nice. BUT the after care DR. ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! My mom went with me and she loved him as well! Let me know if you go with them. :clap2:

:embarassed: LOL.... I told you! BLAH...

Anyone else on this 2 week diet. I am having so much trouble with the nasty drinks...ugh

Good luck with your banding. You may miss the weather here but trust me, lately it has been just like Texas! (I used to live in Galveston & Wichita Falls). Except we have the mugginess not the dry heat. lol... I am getting my banding at Hurley Hospital in Flint. They are still realtively new for it. ABout a year. BUT they have been doing the Rou E Y for 7 years. SO I think they know what they are doing! Just tell her you think she should check out other places.

Hey guys, I have a question it is what is bothering me the most about being banded. I was told for 30 minutes before, during eating and 30 minutes after I could not drink because it would empty the pouch too soon. I drink alot (water) with my meals. How do you eat and not drink?? Any sugestions or alternatives that work well for ya'all? :hungry:

I waiver from both every second! :eek:

I am sorry Martha, but at least you are loosing! :eek: You go girl.

I am on the 1st of August. I got the confirmation on my date today. No they aren't making me wait long at all! WOOOO HOOO!!!

Lol...glad mine isn't the only one then! I am being banded on the 1st, which is a Tuesday! I start the liquids in the a.m. I am actually excited. lol...

I am a Michigander too!! I just don't tell everyone where I am from. My DH gets mad. But I am from Michigan, I attend Michigan State University, and I eat Pinconning cheese and Kogel's...lol...so I am as Michigan as one can be I think!

I am 5'11". I get banded on the 1st of August. I need to loose about 150 lbs. The good thing is the weight is harder to see when you are soooo tall! lol.... Good luck!
