I went in for a lap band fill today....



Recommended Posts

I had point 1 cc put in this 4cc band, so it has tamed my appetite, and I will be on liquids for a while.

But i feel Great ! When I first went in 12 weeks ago I weighed 288. Today I weigh 255 Difference of

33 Lbs... I was shocked myself, because I only go by his scale. But I'm rite in the Ball Park.

If this keeps up, I can see, feel, smell, taste, and DREAM of Onderland in sight for the end of this year.

If it slows down, then let say by Easter.....

If that happens,,,, it will be the first time since I was a Teenager.

I almost forgot,,,,, When I first got weighed for my pre op diet, I weighed 356.

It took a while to happen, but that's 101 Lbs. Gone for Good !

Slowly but steady, this Turtle will keep moving along.

You will in time notice a big difference. If the first fills are not all that much, then like the rest of us, you probably won't even notice it. But once it does kick in,,, you will be able to tell the difference.

Thanks, Shirley

      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.
