I was just wondering is anyone else schedualed to have the lap band put in on this Friday August 16th?

Well im sorry you feel that way I know the benifits and I know that this is the best option for me which is why I had it put in and as of the timw I woke uo at 3 pm today I have a lap band and its gonna stay that way

I have had diarrhea for three days today I have a massive headache and feel so energy less that I cant hardly move is this normal for the pre op diet im on my last all liquid day so tommorrow it will get worse help me please

Well I have made it past my starveing hump I met my surgeon today I stop all food and drinks at midnight tonight and I have to be in at 8:30 am and sugury at 10 and then spend the night and hopefully go home the next day since my initial consultation where I weighed in at 322 lbs with cutting out soda and the preop liquid diet I have lost a total of 15 lbs that was not at all easy to do... basically starvation cause of the liquid diet for a week but I did it and will begin my new life tommorrow. ... or maybe a few days after that lol whenever I can stand to move lol

Good luck to you as well

Ok so I found the one that works best for me and its calorie counter by fat secret it has a bar code scanner as well as a daily meal journal along with calories carbs protein and fat and allows u to put them in brekfast lunch dinner and snacks extra categories and you can go online and print off your food journal !

So I use my phone 24/7/365 and I was wondering if there was an app in the Android Market for the lapband stuff like the journal and you put in the nutritional value and stuff to keep track of your progeny intake ect for the day if anyone knows let me know thanks

I called and got ahold of the nurse that is over the others that will help me after surgury and I was allowed a 12 ounce pepsi and a small serving of instant mashed potatoes which brough me up to inbetween the 1000 and 1300 calorie mark and gave me the energy and helped with the headache they figured even with haveing been off caffeine for over a week that in the detoxin phase or low intake whatever I might be experianceing a caffeine headache that I otherwise wouldnt have noticed so thats why I was allowed the soda which I consumed very slowly along with the instant potatoes I feel much better still have diarrhea not as often now but still its there I just have two days left and they are all liquid so... im gladd I will have family around to help me because if today was any indication of what is to come im gonna be a basketcase by friday.... they did however mention that they were gladd I called in and was feeling so bad because that tells them I truely am following my preop diet where as they have several come in have the surgury and are in so much pain afterwards and say they didnt do it... but the ones who do follow it usualy call in and are allowed a small meal and are in far less pain after surgury and recover nuch faster... thank you all for your concern and support I look forward to continuing my journy with all of you!

Pure Protein frosty choco shakes Water Jello and chicken broth applesause and water

I can still have protein shskes today

I remeber now my doc telling me of a bread I could have jusy not regular old fashioned bread though cause it will expand with moister and cause pain so idk ill have to ask again but for right now I need massive ammounts or pepto I have to call them tommorrow since tommorrow is my last all liquid day and wed I have to start clear liquids to see if I can still have pepto... its raw back there and im tired of running to the pot every 30 mins

Yeah for real if it wasnt for that I wasnt getting anywhere near my 1000 calories and was so just un energized it wasnt funny its hard to run on 450 calories lol

So I wasnt exactly given a list is applesause ok or not?

I called today and they said unsweetened applesause was fine pretty much anything I can suck through a staw besides with just the shakes jello and water I wasnt getting enough calories to fule my body yesterday I only got 450 calories down but went way over on the suggested peotein so

They will give me the post opp diet after I have the surgury they said they didnt want me to dabbel over to much info and get stuff confused I guess they have had patients do thst and I called today and asked I was supposed to get an email with the ok and not ok things but didnt get it I will have to call again tommorrow but the nurse told me that applesause was fine anything I can suck through a straw obiously not to br sucking shicken noodel soup through a straw lol she said I can even put some stuff in the blender and drink it so my wind idea was a doubble bacon cheesebuger in the blender lol hey my brain didnt think that one up my tummy did and obviously its not real brite lol

So I dont exactly have a list but is applesauce ok or not?

Mine is for august 16th

So my insurance has approved the surgery and I got the call yesterday aug 8th and my appointment is for next friday the 16th of august and I have to start my all liquid diet today... im gladd it got approved and schedule so quickly I was able to stop smokeing which even though I still think man I could use a cig every now and again... I have benifited greatly from quitting already also I have cut out soda I had my last goodbye with a 20 oz mt dew livewire last night and wont have any anymore... like im gonna cry over that though it had gotten to the point where soda didnt taste good after a bit I wanted something that tasted different but still soda... but then once I stop drinking so much now it just plain dosent taste as good as u used to think and my stomach and teeth have thanked me greatly already so now the only thing that has kinda upset me is this weekend is my uncles welcome home/birthday party/bbq and im not going because it will be day two without solid foods and... I don't want to tempt myself but all will be forgiven and forgotten im so excited to get this done and over with and get started on my new life which to me will be the begining of my life

So I havwnt had my surgury yet but I have tried the protein shakes I have to be on for a week...5-6 a day of and omg are they the most discusting thing I have ever tasted.... worse than my own vomit... anyone have any idea how to make it taste better or get through it without gaggin and waring to wretch it all up?
