    Love/hate relationship.

    There's a thread on here about taking the easy way out and how many people who have not had WLS or any type of weight problem see it as a shortcut. But for me personally, I almost feel like I took the hard way. Let me explain: I feel like with all of the fad diets, crazy exercise routines, weight-loss pills, "miracle" cures, weight-loss is even harder, even for the average person looking to lose 10-15lbs. While I do love my band and wouldn't trade it for the world, I almost feel like it sort of blinded me to the reality of healthy eating and nutrition. I hopped on the low carb band wagon really hard. I ate no fruit, no high carb veggies, was strict strict strict until about 3 months ago. During the first 6-7 months I lost amazingly, and I am glad that I rarely hit a long standing plateau, but at the same time I feel like I was almost put behind a mask; my brain went into this "food is evil; carbs are evil; high calorie foods are evil" way of thinking and now that my weight-loss is pretty much in a range I can deal with, it has been hell trying to break these thoughts. I never thought it would be hard to tell myself it's okay to eat carbs. It's okay to eat chocolate. I can eat anything I want. But the fact is that food is not evil. Food didn't make me fat. In my case, overindulging with little to no exercise made me fat. Yesterday I had an Oreo truffle; that's right. A bunch of freaking Oreos mixed with cream cheese and covered in white chocolate. I ate it; devoured more like it and then I felt an immediate sense of guilt. Why? Why does eating something sweet make me feel guilty? I'm not sure. But within a few minutes I came to my senses and realized that ONE truffle was not going to kill me. I was not going to gain 5lbs from it. It's funny how I've gone from being a food lover, to a food hater, and nowadays I am slowly, but surely, training my brain to realize that no food is bad. Nothing; none of it. And plenty of people on here will disagree, but I've allowed more "junk" food into my diet and I love it, but the sense of guilt still lingers. I can't wait until the day where I feel skinny, can eat whatever I want, and not second guess my choice.

    OK I lied

    Today it is 44 days until Spring. I'm not sure what I was smoking when I wrote 31 days but I'm glad to see some extra days to get some more weight off. I am at 374 when I was at 372 last week. I want to get out of the 370's NOW. I have been playing in the 370's since November. That is unacceptable. I have to say I got serious again in Decmber about losing weight and I have been pretty consistant with losing. See a gain last week was discouraging and I try not to let it bother me but it does. I am doing well with eating and exercising but I know I can do better. 10.3 (384) 10.10 -2(382) 10.17 ? 10.24 -2(380) 10.31 +3(383) 11.14 -10(373):der: 11.21 +4(377) 11.28 -1(376):confused: 12.5 +3(380):mad: 12.12 -2(378) 12.19 +1(379) 1.9.07 -3(376) 1.17 -3(373):clap2: 1.23 -1(372) 1.30 +2(374):bored
  3. So, I was doing good, tracking my protein, calories, and carbs, eating good stuff, getting in lots of fruits and veggies. I actually lost about 10 pounds! :thumbup: Then BOOM! it was all over. I am feeling hungry all the time, eating just about anything I want, not getting my water in. I know the hunger is probably due at least in part to increased sugar intake.:thumbdown: I am eating like a mad woman!!! :bored: And worse even, I am sneaking to do it! I stop by and buy food when I am alone in the car and eat it between home and work. Or I will buy a soda and drink it like I have been stranded in the desert or something! Candy bars at the grocery store that I eat on the way home. I have lost my mind!!! I was so proud of myself for doing so well and not even banded yet, but I am blowing it all out of the water now. The doctor even commented on how well I was doing and now I am afraid when I go for my pre-op visit I will have regained some of what I had lost and be ashamed all over again! :thumbup: I was so committed to this change and what it would mean for my life and now, I still am in my heart, but my head just isn't cooperating. What is wrong with me?:confused2:

    1/19/13 Before surgery

    From the album: The Journey

    This was taken about a week before surgery (1/30/13). I wanted some good comparison shots. I also have some of body shots in my undies, but I'd rather not show those!

    last meal syndrome

    Girl, I hear ya! I have had several "food funerals". If it helps, everyone I have talked to says that their tastes changed dramatically after surgery so that they actually crave the healthy stuff! I certainly hope this is the case for both of us. I find making small changes here and there are adding up to be big changes. Like, switching to low-cal salad dressings, drinking Water instead of sweet tea, doing 10 minutes of cardio and gradually building up the amount of time, etc. I believe trying to make a bunch of huge changes at once can be a recipe for disaster, at least for me. At any rate, I wish you all the best and know you are going to do great. Keep seeking out support. We can't do this alone!
  7. My surgery was 3/27 but my Dr keeps us on a 2 week liquid diet (I should move to soft foods by the end of the week). One of the things that has really helped me to get my protein in is Unjury protein products. You can order a sample pack that gives you about 10 packets fairly inexpensive. I like the Chicken soup flavor as a broth or the Strawberry Sorbet with crystal light lemonade. Both give you 21 g of protein plus you're getting your liquids in at the same time. Personally, I started feeling so much better when I increased my protein levels (getting 60-70 g of protein every day) and it helps boost your energy too.
  8. My surgeon told me research shows only 5% of patients make it to goal weight. And to remember the surgery is only a tool. The sleeve will help you loose 60-80% of your excess weight. He also told me to set small goals(ie. 10 lbs or 15 lbs a month) and do not think this is the "cure all". I wouldn't stress over lbs and time limits, you don't want to become discouraged.
  9. Will I'm joining the club. My last visit with the surgeon was on July 19, 2010 that's when I was given the date for Surgery. I'm also concern about the insurance approving the surgery.
  10. Hello my fellow Bandsters, Yesterday was the big day for me. I had to be at NYU at 6:30 am. I was waiting untill after 8 to be taken in by a nurse. My surgery wasnt untill approx. 10:45am I went in to the operating room, I was sooo nervous and scared. Everyone was really nice there, they saw that I was nervous. They calmed me down and were very gentle, untill the stuff through IV made me loose control. I tried to fight it...but it was stronger than me. I woke up 1 hour later in the PACU. My throat hurt and my lips were so dty. They rightawy offered me a cup of ice chips, it was the best treat. I was really confused when I woke up. I wanted my DH to come to me, but they didnt let him stay for more than 5 minuts. I dozed off again for 40 minuts. I felt my incision, only the one in the belly botton. (I had the SILS) Around 1:45 I was finally taken up to a recovery room, where I finally got to see my DH that I so desperatly needed by my side. I didnt really have bad gas pains, just slightly. It was deffenatly bothered more by my incision pain. I kept on drinking and drinking. I thought that I didnt have the band put in, everything went down so easy. I have 2 cc's in my band already. I didnt start walking around untill aprox 3 or 4oclock. I didnt have the strength. I was shaky when I got onto my feet. But very soon I got udsed to it and actually walking helped me slowly to get back to myself. Before they discharge you, you have to pee a certain amount. I just couldnt pee, as much as I had the urge to I couldnt. They took a sonogram of my bladder. It was full. It sometimes happens the nurse said, that the Anesthesia causes you not to be able to go to the loo. Only after 9pm did I finally manage to empty my bursting bladder. I was so happy that they finally let me go home. Most of the women on the floor went home already severall hours before. It was great to go home. I must say I didnt expect it all to be the way it was. I was afraid of the gas pains which I thankfully didnt suffer from. I guess everyone is different. All in all it was a great experience!:scared2: Today I had 3 plates of Soup, 1 snapple and 1 ices and I feel stuffed. I guess I am banded. I am looking forward to see the numbers on the scale running down. I wish all of you the best! Any questions that you have I would be very happy to answer.
  11. At 4 weeks out I was eating probably 200 calories a day. I am 10+ months and hitting 700 calories now.

    Sleep Study?

    My surgeon gave me a script to go get a sleep study, his office gave me the info for several clinics and hospitals that I could use. I just picked one at the nearest hospital and I called to schedule myself. I didn't need a referral from my PCP. I'd rather have my band surgery 10 more times and go through the gas pass over and over again than go through another sleep study. It was hell, the wires and gross jelly were making me so itchy, the position I had to lay in , voices in the hallway, my neighbor getting up to pee every hour (we shared a bathroom) my hair in my face, the thought of the creepy tech watching me in his little booth all night, all made me crazy! I didn't feel like I slept at all. In the morning the tech said he thought at one point I was gonna get up and leave because he saw how annoyed I was getting. NEVER AGAIN!
  13. Hello from Palm Bay! I am just a little further south of Cocoa Beach. Was banded on 8/31/10 in Sebastian Florida, and am on my way. Happy New Year to all my fellow CFL bandsters!

    Post Surgery Pain Comparison Question

    I had my gallbladder removed years ago and I always told people it was the easiest surgery I ever had - I was up and walking by 10 pm that night. I would have to say that my VSG was comparable. I was up and walking within hours. I know many people complain of shoulder pain afterwards (and I had that with my Lapband surgery also) but I did not have it with the VSG surgery. I had pain meds prescribed prior to surgery and took it only a few times afterwards. The two days I was in the hospital though they administered it pretty regularly and I did not balk at that. They also gave me shots in my stomach to avoid blood clots. I was taken very good care of at Flagler Hospital in St. Augustine, FL through the US Bariatrics program. They really are experts and I think that definitely contributed to my overall positive experience after surgery and beyond. I've had numerous other surgeries - cesarean section (comparably the worst of all), Lapband, tonsillectomy, gallbladder, both elbows, etc. My VSG experience was better than my Lapband one also. Hope this helps.
  15. Hi everyone I was a low bmi too. I started at 210, 203 on the day of surgery. I am 6 weeks post op (01/17/14) and I have lost 31 pounds (10 before the surgery on pre op diet). I have a question has anyone else stalled in their progress. I stayed in the low 180's for a week and a half and now stuck at 179. I am extremely conscious of my calorie intake and am "exercising" (walking per dr's orders) at least 3 times a week. I am consuming 800-1000 calories (as suggested in the surgery manual) and getting my protein targets. Has anyone experience something similar or is there something I am doing wrong? Thanks for all of your help.
  16. Breakfast: 1 fried egg with 1 slice of cheese OR 1/2-3/4 of a Chick fil A chicken biscuit lunch Usually a Campbells Soup at Hand, because I am a teacher who must eat with the students so I have maybe 10 minutes eating time (not nearly enough to eat properly); about once a week I bring a small container of leftovers to heat and eat Snack: peanut butter/choc chip chewy bar Snack: Starbucks Venti non-fat Caramel Mocha (2 pumps of mocha, 4 pumps sf caramel, no whip) Dinner- whatever is cooked, just a cup or less of it. ex: pastalaya, spaghetti, pizza (1 thin slice) chili, hamburger steak, gumbo, etc. I consistently eat 1200-1500 calories per day; I journal using fitday.com to keep track of my calories. It keeps me honest.
  17. Started my journey back in April of this year. I had to do 6 months for insurance and just by following their plan (plus the pre-op diet); I lost almost 40 lbs. Surgery date: 10/30/17 Age: 44 HW: 380 back in March/April SW: 343 CW: 305 Goal: 225-235 Never, in my wildest dreams, could I ever image the surgery would work this well. Granted, in no way am I disappointed, but thought I'd experience slower loss. However it seems I can average 3-5lbs per week. My next small goal is to see my weight go below 300 lbs!
  18. So today was post op day 6 for me. I was mashing up some avocado for my 10 month old son and I had some. The all liquids have been rough. But i regret it so much and will not cheat at all anymore. But I am having anxiety that my band will slip. I am so disappointed in myself. What a failure already! I will make this work, and never cheat again. I feel full. But my chest is sore. But it could be from my hiatal hernia repair. Any hopeful words? I am self pay and do not want my band to slip!!

    Aetna Denial

    I have aetna, I did not do the physician administered diet and exercise requirement, but was diagnose wit CHF in April 2015 and have been on a diet and exercise regiment since then. My cardiologist wrote a letter stating this and explaining that this surgery is medically necessary. Of course because this plan was to help my heart not to get approval on weight loss surgery it is not documented as need. I submitted it anyway to Aetna for pre-certification on 01/22 i found out today I was denied I have a BMI of 40 and sleep apnea, CHF, and now borderline diabetic. I have now wrote a letter to Aetna which I faxed today hoping they will reverse their decision. Any ideas on possibility of this????
  20. That's what I do, too! I use Vitaballs for my Vitamins (www.vitaball.com). They're a gumball which you chew for 10 mins to get all the vitamins out of it, and then you throw it away like regular gum. I chew one after lunch & one after dinner once I finish the meal. A) It provides moisture after eating, :girl_hug: it stops me from nibbling more, C) is a reminder to take my vitamins, and D) it helps kill the time until I can actually drink! I was banded 6-weeks ago, and NOT drinking with meals is by far the hardest part for me.
  21. I had the nutritionist and psych appts....today was pre-op day and they drew bloodwork for labs, height, weight, vital signs. 10 more days!!
  22. I was banded on the 24th of Nov. and I had a few days of gas and bloating whatnot but now I am feeling perfect. No gas, no pain, no restriction. I'm feeling hungry but haven't been brave enough to try "baby" type foods yet. Did anyone else feel like this so soon after surgery? My Dr. said that typically people are on liquids for 7-10 days but I had to follow my body and go from there. How soon did everyone else wait? Thanks guys! :Yawn:
  23. Hi December People, My surgery date is December 10. I'm excited but scared. I'm 66 yrs old and hoping I handle recovery well. Luck to all of you! Cilia
  24. Any tips on the liquid diet Thursday afternoon will be my last meal. The time for surgery will be here before I know it getting myself prepared
