The one thing I would say is that it is very important to follow the doctors food orders immediatly following surgery. It's dangerous to eat solids right after surgery. That would be Very bad for your stomach. Perhaps that's what she meant. post surgery I had 1 week Clear Liquids, 1 week full liquids, 1 week mushies (cottage cheese), 1 week mushies shredded chicken, then to solids.

"She" doesn't know what "she's" talking about. Sounds like "she" needs psych eval more than you.

I've had my band 1 1/2 yrs. Have eaten sugars & have overeaten. Only consequence of overeating is severe heart burn.

^^This^^

She's either ignorant or just lying...worrisome in either case. :blink:

When was your appointment, April1. Sounds like an April Fools joke to me! Your psych eval, sounds like she has confused lapband with gastric bypass. I, also, have sugar when I want it. I usually use a sweetener, but indulge in "real" sugar, too! Karen

This person needs to be reported to your surgeon though. If you got a referral from your surgeon's office that is. Unless it was a "test" of your band knowledge. To put misinformation like that out there borders on malpractice in my opinion.

It's conceivable that a person might cancel surgery based on these statements and not get the treatment for obesity that they deserve.

So had my psych eval today....it was good....they mentioned a couple of things that I never read anywhere or seen before so I'm seeing if somebody can verify it for me.

1-she said that with this surgery I can't have any sugars....EVER...is that true?

2-she also said that if I ever overeat ONCE I'll rip the band of my stomach....uhh, what?

just seeing what the truths of those 2 statements were

      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.
