Updated September Bandsters!



Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone else does this or not, but a friend told me to freeze a Slim Fast & eat it like ice cream. I tried it & I think it taste better & it makes me feel more satisfied than if I were to just drink it.

My Dr's office just changed my surgery date from Sept 13 to Sept 17th. I am very bummed out about it. I looks like there are a lot of us getting banded on the 17th though. I have been on liquid since last friday and have lost about 19 pounds, but i am ready for something crunchy!!!

WOW 19 lbs is GREAT! I started liquids today and I have the WORST headache ever! I am going to call it a night and go to bed just as soon as I can! I could only dream of losing 19 lbs!!!! I will change your date, at least you still will have it. Maybe the 13 would have been a bad day for the dr and something might have gone wrong. EVERYTHING happens for a reason!!!

Ok, group. I need a little pick me up. I lost 14 pounds on this liquid diet in 9 days. Stupidly, to Celebrate, I went over to a friend's house and had a no/low carb dinner with (a lot of) wine. Woke up Saturday and felt like I was in college--I couldn't stop throwing up. When all was said and done I had lost another 3 pounds (which hit my goal for getting the surgery on Sept. 18 so in a way I was glad, although severely worn out). Since Saturday, I have gained 5 pounds. I can't figure it out. I'm still on the liquid diet, doing everything the same. Why am I gaining weight?

:help:

Could it be close to the time of the month? Have you been eating some low/no carb meals? I am not sure what advice I could tell you, I hope it all comes out ok! I will be praying for you!

katmeg99-If I drink alcohol, it is a guaranteed 3-10 pounds depending on how much I drink...I think it's all the sugar turning to fat, unfortunately. Drink LOTS of Water to flush it back out.

I am on day 5 of my medifast journey to lose 20 by the 21st and I have been thinking of celebrating my 10 pounds, but you convinced me I shouldn't!

Just get back on track and you will be good to go!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
