The shakes were awful especially around the second week. I couldn't take it. I started getting smoothies from tropical smoothie once a day to break up the grossness. I got no sugar added and then I added whey protein to them. I just found out that red mango now has whey protein they can add to their nonfat yogurt smoothies. I am soooooo excited that's a good post op snack. -
It's my day toooo!! Good luck I'm being banded at 7:30.

You shouldn't have to pay the difference unless you have a copay or coinsurance or deductible. Most of the time what the insurance company allows is what is agreeable as payment and the remainder shouldn't be billed to the patient. There are always exceptions but you should call your ins company and ask if you have a responsibility on that claim.

I can't take this preop liquid diet anymore. 1 week 2 days in and all I want to do is putting something in my mouth i can chew. Like real food not an ice pop. The shakes are making me gag. Sorry just had to vent!

Today I Am going for my pre-surgical testing. Which means I've been on the pre liquid diet for one week and lost 8lbs so far (is this good or should I have lost more) and next week at this time ill be getting banded. Can't believe only one week left. So unreal!!!

How long does the Lapband surgery take?

Pre-op diet is getting easier. I'm finding I'm staying full with the Protein shakes. 5lbs in 3 days makes me happy even though its Water weight. I just feel so much less bloated and my stomach isn't as puffy. You can see a tiny difference. It's all motivation to stick to it and suffer when my kids are eating real food. Lol

JULY 2013 BAND BUDDIES
3mommy replied to sprinkle715's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Today was a stressful day because a it's 100 degrees out and our electricity went out. I have 3 small children and one is sick with a high fever so today was stressful trying to figure out where to go. I found myself craving eating bad food. I never realized before how I let food control me. I did good and didn't eat anything bad and stuck to my preop liquid diet. It wasn't easy but I'm proud of myself. -
Woke up nauseas and not hungry still managed to drink my protein shake and a bottle of water. I honestly would lovvvve if I could feel this way the whole time lol better than feeling hungry. I know it's all water weight but somehow I'm already down 4lbs in one day. Weird!!!

I'm getting banded July 31st. Started my preop diet yesterday!! -
I am soooooo hungry it's torture lol. I wish I could lock myself in a room so I'm not tortured by sights and smells of food. Feeding my kids tonight is going to be tough. The broth makes me sick I can't eat it.
-
I'm pre op. I've made it through the day but not easily. Hard to imagine 2 weeks of this. I did good today and I made myself an eating schedule that I am sticking to so I am not starving
-
Starting my preop liquid diet tomorrow.
