No required liquid diet, should i do it anyway?
MrsRobinson replied to horsegirl315's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I believe every surgeon is different in regards to their required pre op however, I have to say the first two days where hell but after that your system gets use to the small amount and I think that is one of the things they are shooting for. I can not imagine what it would be like to go from food and regular quantities to lapband amounts after surgery..I guess it helps with the smaller food amount and realizing what you will be consuming...I am in day 10 of my pre op liquid diet and to tell the truth it is really not that bad. I can have the following things in about 1/2 cup portions: Sugar Free(S/F) Fat Free (F/F) Yogurt, S/F Fudge Pops, S/F Pops, Broths and Broth based soups strained, Cyrstal Light, Lt juices, Def coffee, L/F Cottege Cheese,S/F Jello, S/F Pudding, Unsweetened Applesauce, (Only one of the following per day) Grits, Oatmeal, Farina, Cream of Wheat. My surgeon also requires that I exercise at least three times a week for 30 minutes..Yesterday was my pre op and I have lost 9 pounds so far and I am totally excited..... -

I have not had my surgery yet, but I really believe that when you are so physical while you where training your metabolism gets really cranked up so when you had your second surgery and you physical workouts have shrunk down so far your body is not burning as much, ie. weight gain or no weight loss...My husband is a runner and did the Marine Corps Marathon if he does not train for awhile he gains...How about walking some more and add hand weights to your routine? I live in GA, too and know you can find some really great parks with killer hills!!! You can do it just take a breath and move, move, move.....))) Stay Cool

Dr. Marina Kurian - LAP-BAND? Personalized Patient ID Card
MrsRobinson replied to marishka's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Hello, My name is Lisa Robinson...OK I just found this out last night..At your pre op surgery appointment they should have given you a temp card, if they did not however do that then call, Allergan @ 1-800-LAP-BAND and have the following info., Lap-Band System Size, Surgery Date, Surgeons Name, Surgeon's Telephone Number, Valid Email Address and let them know you need your Patient ID Card it allows you to get smaller portions at resturants and you should bring it with you for doctor appointment and hospital procedures as well as MRI's and medical emergencies!!! How this helps!!! Lisa -
I have to tell you the bag on the head is soo funny for me cause I was born and raised in New Orleans and I am a big Saints fan. We use to put bags over our heads in the early 80's @ the games....Keep up the good work, I am excited to hear about your future lapband adventures!!

OK, this is what happened they called this am to tell me I was approved and said to start my liquid diet in the morning. The have moved my surgery up to Nov 22nd. I guess I will be sending my husband and the twin into New Orleans for Thanksgiving dinner w/ my mom & them...
