My doctor said 4 shakes and one meal for two weeks until surgery. Seven more days to go! Keep it going...well worth it my thinning friend!

Brittany,
Thanks for posting on my Clothes Swap Social Group. Hope others join as well so we can start swaping! I love handmedowns even though I am one of ten kids in the family I still love it!

After I found out why we should stick with the pre-op diet, having no issues sticking with it. The nurse yesterday said it was because the liver swells causing the surgeon difficulty when doing microscopic surgeries. Don't want him to have any issues so for the next seven days I am going to be on it like white on rice! LOL
You lost 6 lbs no matter if it is water or not it's awesome! Besides if it was water as soon as you drank some it would go back on so I bet it was fluid from the fat cells shrinking! Good luck on your journey to a healthy lifestyle!

I am doing the pre-op diet and hating it but other then that I am doing well. LOL Wanted to get on before I started my day. Hope your weekend is going well!

I'm allowed 4 oz lean meat and veggies with two fruits and 4 protein shakes plus I have to have eight glasses of water 8 oz each. Hate it because my stomach and mind wants more but my family is on me not to cheat....LOL they said they would tell the surgeon if I do...brats..hehehehe

Hi, New to this site; going to get the LAP-BAND®® on July 15th. Very excited but I am very aware that it is only a tool and it is only as good as the commitment I am willing to give to change my bad habits to good ones and have a new lifestyle change! Out with the old and in with the new healthy me! Wishing you all the best of luck with your journey to a healthier you!:redface: Any suggestions on how to work this site is appreciated!

How are you doing with it? I am finding it to be very difficult unfortunately.
-
I know what you mean; I was jealous hearing others having it sooner but then as luck had it things changed for me. They could for you too...just call your surgeons office and mention that if an appointment for surgery gets canceled can they call you to take it's place?

How to Avoid Loose Skin After Surgery
LadyInBlack replied to whippoorwillow's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know someone that lost all his weight but still will not wear shorts because his legs are saggy and his belly is saggy as well as his arms. It isn't fair that the insurance companies don't pay to have it ALL removed. It's not vanity it's mental health! We are trying to get healthy and having that extra skin isn't healthy for the body to have to drag around and it certainly isn't good for mental well being! I have been told that your mind can make the body sick so if our minds are not healthy then our bodies will still not be completely healthy! Need new laws for a healthier country! Eating healthy is expensive and losing weight and not having the complete results is not healthy! Wish we could all get together and make the people in power really change things for the people that are giving it their all to be healthy and a productive part of society! Just my opinion! -

Cape Cod MA banders
LadyInBlack replied to LadyInBlack's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am so close to the Rotary in Middleboro...there is a Dunkin Donuts right there if you want to meet! I couldn't do end of month for my surgery...they wanted to give me July 1st but I work in Finance so I told them it had to be mid month. YOU are so lucky! Getting it done sooner is better! Can't wait to meet you! -
Is there anyone that lives near or on Cape Cod MA that is being or has been banded? I am having my surgery on July 15th and would love to have someone close by to walk with and do other fun exercise with....just a thought! Have my fingers crossed .... would love to have a buddy that is going through the same thing near to me! Lisa

Yes you are right....doing this together is exciting....feel us shrinking already!

I do have sleep apnea but very slight. Once I lose some of my weight it will go away!

Just wanted to catch up since I haven't been on in a few days!

If I could do it over, would I get a lap band??
LadyInBlack replied to Woodstock girl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know several people that had the bypass and after two years they gained it all back and then some...the little pouch streatched and now they can't do anything but control their eating....why bother doing it if you don't fix what got you there in the first place! It's not a cure all and it doesn't last if you don't fix your eating disorder! I am still Pre OP but I am still glad I am having the band!
