lapband drama... yes i'm a cheater



Recommended Posts

So I finally got my date of the surgery Sept 29th 2010

I WAS excited,now i'm worried about every little thing.My husband is beyond supportive.The worrying made me cheat on the liquid diet.I haven't had anything to unhealthy like a nice piece of cheesecake or anything but i have had like beef Jerky, chicken, oh and someday i did have a churro, which made me sick.I'm trying again tomorrow with positive thoughts, i have to find something new and fun to do to keep my mind off of food.My husband being away is another thing that makes me depressed, its so much easier when he's right here,he will be coming home to a new woman in Dec hopefully he's home sooner.Military life.. geez

It's great to have somewhere to go and express how i'm really doing instead of pretending i'm always fine

My husband wants me to Tape My journey and youtube it but i don't think so... WELL HMM MAYBE LOL

ANYWAYS I HOPE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING GREAT :thumbup:

I too am a cheater. I am supposed to be on Optifast for a week. I lasted 2 days. My mind is now in 'eat what you can before its too late' mode. How sad is that? I am being banded in 3 days. Its not a good start but I guess if I could stick to a diet, I wouldn't need a band.

It sounds like you have been a lot better than me. Don't beat yourself up about it. When you get your band things will change. Good luck to you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
