Met with my lapband surgeon today



Recommended Posts

I went to see my surgeon today and I have restarted my process today and I am waiting to find out if all the testing I did last year will be good and I should be scheduled for my surgery with in the next month. I felt good today not nervous like I was last year. By starting my exercise plan and staying focused on my diet now this time it is easier, I am still nervous of the life change, but I am looking at the band strictly as a tool. I will loose the weight and I will use the band as a tool to help monitor my intake and to keep me focused. As much as this website can be good it can also be bad at times when you hear the negative, but the one thing we all have in common is our weight and that is what brings us together. as we loos the weight we are all on the journey together and here to support one another. I welcome all conversations so please feel free to email me anytime.

Congratulations on getting back on track. Obviously, you weren't ready for this last year. But by this time next year you'll be a whole new man. Good luck!

One thing to keep in mind about this forum, and those like it, is that the people who have questions or issues are the ones who post. Those people who aren't having any trouble rarely post, so we never see those folks. Take all these issues you see here with a grain of salt, and think of all those unknown invisible bandsters out living their lives with no problems. Chances are very good you won't have any problems at all.

Wishing you the best going forward.

Dave

      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?

      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.
