Hello everyone,

I just joined today and have had so much fun reading all of the posts on this site. It is so informative and so encouraging reading the words of fellow bandsters. I am 4 weeks post op and have lost 15lbs so far. My mind says I should be losing weight faster but the nurse in me knows that 15lbs a month is almost too much. I have found that the hardest part is getting my "fat chick" mind to get in sync with my "skinny chick" stomach. I wonder how much longer that will last. Anyhoo, just wanted to say hello and I look forward to chatting with you all.

WR

Hey newbie. I'm from Deer Park. My daughter is a nurse in Baytown. I got banded on Aug 25th. Love, love, love it! I have lost 30 lbs so far. My doctor says to keep it down to 5 lbs a month. And I seem to be succeeding.

Anyway, stay in touch. Would love to know what hosp. you work at. Wouldn't that be a hoot if you know each other!

Hi there! I'm around the corner from you in Lake Charles, LA. I'm new to the site too. I just got approved by my insurance and on the 19th of this month will find out my surgery date. I'm so excited, but nervous too. I know I'll have success. I'm worried about the pre op diet though. Any suggestions? Good Luck and I can't wait to read about your success!:drool:

Hi Tessie,

Congrats on your approval!! What an exciting time for you. As for the pre-op diet, my surgeon had me do full liquids for 2 weeks before surgery. The first two days were definitely the hardest. I found that drinking high Protein Drinks kept me full much longer than Clear Liquids and puddings. For me, the higher the Protein the less hungry I was. The worst part for me was the hunger headache. I believe that lasted about 3 days and nothing would relieve it. Looking back, I should have had more Water throughout the day but I was still getting an adequate amount of fluids. Good luck to you and I look forward to reading about your success!!

      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!!

      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?
