Jan 14th big day



Recommended Posts

Well I'm 6 days in on pre-op diet I started Jan 1st and I get the lap band on Jan 14th. I see my doctor on Jan 9th for weigh in for what ever reason I'm nerious about that even though I already lost 14 pounds on this liquid diet. I'm just counting down the days to get here these protien shakes is really messing with my taste buds. I see I am not alone in feeling how I do about this liquid diet. I have gotten different types of protien shakes and notice the ones from costco seem to be the best right now. Well I am very happy that this day is around the corner at the same time it feels like this will be a long 8 days for me.....

How Awesome!! The shake I got is called Protein vanilla flavor 30g protien and 3 carbs I only have 2 of these a day with a slim fast low carb or and Atkins shake. My doctor allowed up to 7 carbs a day so as of right now it works for me. How ever I'm having such a hard time finding slim fast low carb for some reason. Well Good luck to you any updates on your surgery would be great!!

That's great! I asked if I can mix fruit and they told me no. It seems like some people are able to have a little more then others. So enjoy that banana shake! I can really go for one right now :-)..

Jan 14 is also my surgery day! I started my pre op dec 31. I am using Bariatric Advantage 2 to 3 times a day and sugar free instant Breakfast to make a max of five shakes a day. Those are the only two kinds my doctor allows. I'm allowed sugar free Jello and sugar free Popsicles. Also allowed broth but I haven't found a canned one I like. The first few days were rough but I'm felling better. I'm staying out of the kitchen for the most part and my husband is feeding the kids to reduce temptation. I went to a girl scout cookie rally last night -- yes Cookies everywhere-- and I did not take one bite!!

      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.
