nurse06 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Ok everyone I need some advice. The nurse from the surgeons office called me today and told me I was approved for my Lap Band surgery (which I was super excited about) but then she told me I needed to lose 27lbs before surgery! I know it reduces your rick in the OR is you can lose some weight first but 27lbs seems to be so much. I am kinda discouraged. If I could do this on my own I wouldn't need the surgery. Any advice on a helpful diet? I have already started Protein Shakes 2 weeks ago and I only drink Water. I am so discouraged right now!!:biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btrieger 21 Posted June 23, 2010 If you let yourself get discouraged then you are going to lose the battle. Keep your chin up and have a positive attitude. You can do it if you try!! I lost 95 pounds in the 5 month prior to surgery just by cutting down the size of my portions and walking 30 minutes a day. Give it a shot and do NOT say you can't do it ever again.
