Hello! Newby Here! Surgery was 10/12/10.



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!

Angela

Congrats! Welcome to the starting of the new you!

I was banded almost 4 months ago. I am 35 and have 3 kiddos. It's amazing how much better we feel with some weight gone! I actually want to play with the kids and have fun doing it!

Yeah for the mushies! So much better than drinking your food! And good for you on the scale. I too didn't own one, and didn't get on it except for dr appts. I liked to be pleasantly surprised each time, and I was. I did buy a Wii balance board and now weigh myself once a week on it.

Keep up the good work!

I've been progressing every day since joining the forum. It makes me feel better than anything. I hope in the next few months will be nice to talk to me.

      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?

      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.
