Pre-Op Diet Support Thread :)
Rockstar_Jen replied to general_antiope's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I started my liquid diet last Tuesday and overall I've done ok. My doc did say if I need solid food to eat Protein and no carbs. I've cheated a little by eating solid food, but been good about not having any carbs. Today was pretty rough though. I have a endoscopy on Tuesday and sadly hoping for a least a small hiatal hernia. It's the only way the insurance will pay for any if it. If I don't have one at all, then I won't be able to self pay or the whole thing ATM. I find myself be apprehensive to get excited, but still determined to get through the pre-op procedures and diet. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk -
I'm sorry to hear this. Honestly, I'm concerned about the same thing. I go in for my EGD on Tuesday and it will be a deal breaker for me as well. I wish you the best of luck.

First day of preop
Rockstar_Jen replied to wozzicat's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm on day 4 and it really hasn't been as bad as I anticipated. The others are right, just keep busy. If you listen to your body you're probably not as hungry as you think. It's the habit of eating. I think it is great practice for after surgery. The band won't help if we keep up the emotional eating habits. I'm using it as an opportunity to retrain myself. Best of luck to you!! I know you can do it! -

WoW!! Great job! 4 more days to go! You can do it! -
Mine is Feb 5th!!! I'm on my 2 week protein diet too, but the doctor did say I could eat some chicken or fish if I need too. It's been tough, but not as tough as I anticipated. :-)

I'm getting banded on Feb 5th and my doctor stressed the importantace of a very low carb diet for long term success. He explained how the carbs slip through the band so much easier and thus will hind or even stop weight loss. He didn't suggest Adkins per sey, but did make it clear that carbs were to be had in moderation. Obviously, I am far from an expert just passing the Dr.s advice along.

Started Pre-Op Diet Today!
Rockstar_Jen replied to Spaness2012's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I started mine yesterday. So far, a little easier than expected. I just went to bed 3 hours earlier than normal so I wouldn't think about eating real food... I think the hardest part was cooking dinner for my family while having a shake. However, I promised my 9 year old girls that they wouldn't starve. haha -
Any February 2013 Bandsters?
Rockstar_Jen replied to laughingatlilies's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My tentative date is set for 2/5! I meet with my surgeon tomorrow and get final approval dates. I have a small procedure to check for a hiatal hernia, which in this case I hope I have. My insurance won't pay for the band itself, but they can combine the surgery and will make it much cheaper!!
