Here I Go



Recommended Posts

For almost two months I have been poked, prodded, :omg: scanned, zapped, screened, evaluated, and all those other things doctors do to make sure one is fit to have surgery. I have cleared every hurdle, passed every test, and now they say I’m good to go. By noon on Monday, Jan 23<SUP>rd</SUP> I will be the happy home for a new Lap-Band. I want to thank you all for your support and words of wisdom up to this point. Special thanks to Christina for talking with me on the phone for about 90 minutes giving me all the low down on what to expect and helpful hints. Looking forward to sharing my new experiences with you all.

      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.
