Surgery Date Nov 18th In Montreal



Recommended Posts

Hello LAP-BAND® forum. This is my first post here on this site. I am new to this world and can say after reading so many posts I am excited to be a part of such a supportive community.

I am 34yrs old and struggled with my weight all of my life. I have began my pre-op diet yesterday of 5 boost shakes per day and 1 cup of vegatables with plenty of Water.

My surgery date Nov 18th is with Dr. Steven Miller in Montreal. I am both nervous and excited. Any tips on how to make it through the pre-op diet without going a little nutty?

HW=419lbs

CW=402lbs

SW=???

GW=225lbs

Hey and welcome!

All I can say about the pre-op is take it one day at a time. You'll have some days you just wanna scream and eat everything in sight, and other days where you think, "Hey, this isn't that bad." Cherish those days! Just gotta plow through it and look for the light at the end of the tunnel. It's all worth it!

Keep us updated!

      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.
