Has Anyone Had Good Long Term Success?
newskinnygal posted a topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Hello I was wondering how successful lap band surgery is 1,2,3,4...8, etc years from when you originally received it. Ive heard that a lot of people have needed to take it out due to complications. I haven't heard much about people with lapband for longer periods of time any complications. Does it have a high success rate in the future? -
I have PCOS and having lapband surgery this week. Did PCOS cause you to get a hysterectomy? I hope that lapband surgery can help you. Battling weight is tough.

My 3 Year Bandiversary!
newskinnygal replied to Humming Bird's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Aww congratulations! I'm getting banded next week! I dont plan to count calories or weigh anything either. I just plan on making healthier food choices and obviously, smaller portions plus exercise! Is that what you did? You are an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story! I wish you continued success! -
I would make sure the potatoes are really creamy and not too thick though!

Fda Approved Protein Supplements?
newskinnygal replied to Wisdom2KnowTheDifference's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I don't believe the FDA regulates any dietary supplements. Even your multi vitamins are not regulated by the FDA. Just pay attention to the ingredients and don't take any with weird ingredients. For example, muscle milk uses "and/or" a lot in their ingredient list, they don't even know what they are putting in there! -
I just had gum, then I realized that was probably a bad idea. It was dentyne ice and sugar free. I did take it out, but the reason I had it was because my protein drink left a gross after taste! Did I ruin my liquid diet?!

Getting Banded 07112012

I think you may be retaining your water weight. Try lowering your sodium intake? -
Boost made me vomit! I'm scared now to drink any protein shake! The taste and smell are absolutely awful! If I'm regurgitating before surgery, I can't imagine how it would be after surgery! What should I do for my pre op diet? I need a tasty protein shake! Has anyone tried Gatorade g3?

Boost Made Me Vomit!
newskinnygal replied to newskinnygal's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sooo what happens if you don't get the full amount of protein reuired? I'm required 100 by doc and today I only got in about 65-70ish. Is it better than nothing? I cant find a tolerable protein drink I ordered unjury strawberry sorbet today so I'll try that as soon as it comes in. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday.... -
I'm scheduled for surgery around the time I should get my period. I'm on BC, I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to skip the placebo pills and go straight to another pack so I don't have a period. Has anyone had surgery during your menstrual cycle? I heard you can't take levonex, the anti blood clot medicine during your period....I don't know what to do.

Can You Have Blended Soups On Pre Op Diet?
newskinnygal posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was wondering if you can have blended soups, like chicken noodle, chicken tortilla, lentil soup, etc on the pre op liquid diet? I'm on a "full liquid" diet before surgery. -

Thank you to everyone who replied! You have given me some new hope! I plan to go to GNC and see if they have any samples I can purchase. I tried the gatorade G3 , it's really good! Mixed berry flavor and 16 g protein, no weird smell or after taste or weird thick texture! I hope I can try some of your suggestions! -
Thanks to everyone for the replies...I guess every surgeon is different when it comes to BCP. I'm glad that being on a period shouldn't effect anything either! Thanks again!
-
Did you finish the pack or stop somewhere in between the BCP?
-
My doctor told me not to stop the BC...was anyone else on BC during surgery?
