New Lapbander



Recommended Posts

Hi

I had my surgery last Tuesday 3rd May, and apart from the pain in my left shoulder from the gas, for the first week I'm doing fine. Just hope this time I can loose the weight and keep it off.

Good luck to others who are having their lap bands put in in the near future.

Cheers

Kaye

I just had surgery on April 21, I've lost 18 lbs so far. I also had terrible pain in my left shoulder, that was almost inpossible to work out, but finally did thank goodness. The swelling is going down and besides being a little sore, things are going well. Now that they told me to eat regular food, the weight loss has stopped. I am due for my first fill on May 31 and I hope that makes it so I am not so hungry. Loved it at the beginning when I was hardly hungry. Hope the fill goes well.

Take care Kaye.

      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.
