any thing you can lose now is that much less after surgery!! try high protein foods and no sugar low carbs that will curb your hunger. i ate yogurts, sugar free jello [premade] . no sweets or tons of bread like i did before and i got off to a good start before my surgery. you still must have self control to make the band work. my daughter had it one yr ago and is doing super 80 lbs gone. i found a good protein drink online new -whey liquid protien0 sugar and 42 grams of protein i like the blue rasberry flavor. good luck

the more protein you drink the less hungry you will be. my first fiill is sept 11 i've done pretty good so far i realize this is not a miracle fix and have started to vacumn pack healthy vegatables , made up turkey patties and froze them and other foods to have stuff done up and quick to grab after work . even though i could still stuff myself i don't this is my last chance to get the weight off so i will be trying to behave. food shouldn't have that kind of power over me, i need to get a grip !!!!!

Hey 50 & over gang We have a new spot
GRANNIE JENNI replied to IndioGirl55's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
it took me a year of diligent work to get my surgery. call cal and call some more at least weekly to check the progress of your surgery date and where you are at with insurance approval if its not done yet. stay on it, for your own good. -
Words of discouragement from primary care doc
GRANNIE JENNI replied to chic28's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
15 lbs. is a good start. i also had my surgery on july 30th and have lost 26 lbs. but i am so sick of being asked everyday how much have you lost now? cripes give it a chance!!! if we can lose 8 lbs per month that will be 70 or so by next year. do it slow and correctly eat healthy!!! i love new healthy food reciepes. the band is not a miracle we also have to do our part and change our eating. take care jenni -
This would be good with fat free cattage cheese and free cool whip to be healthier

Need a buddy for a bander Gaining weight,off the path, and afraid to tell her doctor.
GRANNIE JENNI replied to Joy's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
hope all is going ok. stick with it. look up some healthy reciepes on the inter net. i do it by typing in a food i like such as cauliflower or ground turkey and it will then give reciepes contaning these foods. using spices is the key to great tasting food and i don't mean spicey spices. after i found a bunch of reciepes i liked i printed them and if 2 or more called for a certain spice i put it on a list to buy. so now i have my hz stocked with good foods and the spices to make them taste great its fun. try it. tell me some foods you like and if i have a good reciepe i'll send it to ya!!! -
surgery the 30th
GRANNIE JENNI replied to GRANNIE JENNI's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
i am now 2 1/2 weeks out from surgery. no pain /problems. i was back to work on the 5th of aug. i am enjoying looking up healthy reciepes on the internet. i have an absoulty wonderful one for a ground turkey burger. its better than a beef one. i plan to cook much more healthy foods and give up all the breads, starches and unending sweets i used to eat. i will have a small vanilla wafer if i need to but i find the more protein i eat the less i crave carbs and sweets. xoxoxo -
Doctor supervised diet question
GRANNIE JENNI replied to Bethanyblondie's topic in Insurance & Financing
MOST INSURANCES REQUIRE ONCE A MONTH but your dr may accept a phone call to document in your chart -
if you are even thinking of having this surgery get going on getting all your aperwork in order. you have to have a tleast 3- 6 months of doctor surpervised diets or weight loss palns you have tried and some of the 'co-morbid' conditions. plus the phyc eval. call some physc places to see who does the bariatric eval in your area. and online you can look for a facility that does them near you and how many they have done.

how long before you hear from the surgeon?
GRANNIE JENNI replied to Mommy07's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
ABOUT 2 weeks. do you have all of your required documention ready? 6 months of doctor visits with talk of losing weight and what diets and weight loss programs you have tried? call you rinsurance company and find out all of the stuff they want from you. it takes a while -
start getting all of your dr visits paperwork from the last yr or so they need to contain documentaion that you and your dr talked weight loss and food changes. also write down any diet plans or pills you may have tried from just any store. and gyms or exercise places you may have attended. if you have more than one dr get letters from all of them recommending this surgery for you. this is not a quick process and your insurance will try and deny you without every little duck in a row. it took me a yr of fighting mine they got sick of me and approved it. oxox
