Recommended Posts

Hello! I was on the OH website and I still am. But I am having some trouble with a couple of trolls there who are band haters and had revision surgery. So I am looking for a new support site!

I am 34 and just got banded with the Lap Band 10/12/10. I am doing pretty goo. Back to work! Today is my first day on mushies! Happy to be off the liquids!

My start weight was 327. I was down 316 for surgery. I have not gotten on a scale since surgery. Trying to wait till my follow up appt on 10/28/10.

I am a mother and wife. I husband and I celebrated 8 years together on 10/08/10!! I have 2 little boys! One turned 2 TODAY! And the other will be 5 in January.

I am so excited to start this journey! I hope being here I can learn from those ahead of me and help those behind me in this process!

I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome to the adventure!!!

I was just banded on Oct 4, a very exciting day!!! I am on week 3 and have started with lean meats. My follow up appt was 10 days after surgery and had lost 12 lbs. during the first week. I was so excited that I ran out a bought a scale that does Body fat, Muscle Mass as well as weight. The 2nd week's weight loss was much less at 5 lbs but before getting banded that weight would have taken months upon months to lose. It's just so great to see it finally going away!!! There are so many passionate people on this site and now I know why!!! It's great to share this experience with so many others in my shoes.

Good Luck with your progress. I hope to chat with you soon.

I was also banded on the 12th, but I'm still on liquids through next Tuesday. My follow up appointment is on the 26th and I can't wait to see what the scale will say.

It's great to see how excited you are. I am too! I said I wasn't going to tell anyone I got banded, but I feel like I'm going to burst! I told a few people, but not the whole world like I want to :)

I wish you much success in your journey!!

      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.
