Lap band surgery Tuesday.....period late! Negative tests....what do I do?



Recommended Posts

Hi new here! My husband and I have been ttc for 3 yrs with fertility drugs etc. No luck:( I have pcos and have had surgery for endometriosis but they found none and said I am very healthy. Although healthy I am overweight and know that if I get the weight off pregnancy is more likely to happen! The fertility dr even said other than my weight nothing else is preventing me from getting pregnant. So here I am now approved for lap band and scheduled to have it done this coming week Tuesday 23rd! I have very regular periods usually 30 day cycles sometimes 32-34 but typically 30 I expected to get it on Saturday which would have been day 30 but now at day 34 still not here! I have taken 2 tests but both were negative. Could it be nerves, could it be pre surgery diet, could something be throwing me off or am I possibly pregnant now and its not showing? My pre op appointment is Monday what if it's not here by then? Help.....please! I'm so confused :(

      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.
