Hello Please help.

I am scheduled to have the lapband surgery on December 15th. RIght before Christmas. My concern is am I going to be able to move around for the holidays. I usually cook a big Breakfast for my family, I know I am not going 2 be able to eat but I would like to cook for them on the 25th. Will I be able to do so?

that will be 10 days after surgery. yes i think you will be ok. i was cooking 10 days out and no problem at all. does anyone normally help you or do you cook all alone? i'd ask someone to help me out so i didn't feel so stressed out.

Thanks for your response. Yes, I usually get help with cooking. I am glad because I dont want to fill so overwhelmed. Do u know if I will be on soft foods by then or on liquids?

Your diet depends completely on your doctor's regimen. At 10 days out, I was allowed to have pureed Proteins. (ETA: Wait. I think Day 10 is when I switched to soft, moist Protein. Even better!)

At 10 days out, I was really beginning to feel like myself again--I think you'll be okay for a big Christmas Breakfast, especially if you have a bustling house with plenty of people to help :thumbup:

      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.
