Best wishes on your recovery and Congratulations. I pre-register at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital on Aug 3 and my band date is Aug 6. I've lost 31 pounds getting ready for this day and hope to lose 2-3 pounds by weigh-in on Aug 3. Keep us posted on your recovery. -
Things I Won"t Miss After My Surgery!
Rojasanoll replied to Edan Ren?'s topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I hope to see my toes one day while standing. -
When I was on Atkins, I had the same problem as you. I purchased Miralax and it worked for me. I'm not banded until Aug 6, but I practiced ahead and I found if you steam veggies and then use blender to puree them it doesn't taste bad and this takes me back to regular.

I use my local Big 5 Sporting goods store. They always have a great selection of shoes and at discounted prices. They carry Dr. Scholls walking shoes for special needs.

Protein Shakes Enough For A Breakfast Meal?
Rojasanoll replied to meyouus's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I drink a protein shake in the morning. I also freeze it for 1 hour. Turns very thick and then you have to drink it slowly as it thaws. -
Congratulations and start walking more today to help get rid of mucus. And when you sleep on your back use an extra pillow to elevate the head position to help drain better. Best wishes

67jax, NEVER take someone's BP medicines thinking it will help you. Check with your doctor if it stays high for a few days. Stay away from salt and if you're a soup eater from a can of soup, please check the high content of sodium and look for a lesser one to eat. Remember, the LIte in soup doen't necessary mean lower sodium, read the label.

After A Slow Start I Saw A 1 As The First Number On The Scale For The First Time In 8 Years!
Rojasanoll replied to BigBayRooster's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Success Stories
Wonderful news! Best continued wishes to all -
I'm not tracking calories but maybe I will after the Band is in.

I've worked so hard in losing weight prior to Aug 6 Band date. I'm fearless and want it done! I am so prepared for this surgery and new journey. I will defeat being overweight and get to a normal weight for me. Nothing is going to stop me. I've done much research through Allergan lab findings from my sister. Bring it on, I'm ready! Best wishes fellow Banders.

My surgery is on Aug 6 and my pre-register is on Aug 3. I have no approval from Anthem BCBS. I contacted Anthem yesterday on their Anthem.com and left a message. I need to know prior to Aug 3 or surgery will be cancelled by me. I'm fearful of getting stuck with the bill. I might call on Jul 30 Anthem. My surgeon's office hadn't receive anything. Keeping my fingers crossed.

If my band date of Aug 6 gets approved by Anthem BCBS, I'm taking off Aug 6 to 10 and return to work on Aug 13. My boss is directing me to take the week off and doesn't want me to appear at work any earlier.
