4 Weeks post lap band Op



Recommended Posts

My name is Tim, surgery 6/30/2011, By Dr. Jenson in Yuma AZ. Total Loss is 32 lbs including pre-op diet. Just some minor problems with eating as it seems the restriction is not so bad except for 2 episodes when food would not go down and 5 or 10 mins later it would come back up! I have gained a couple lbs and hope the 1st fill on 8/15 will help!

Hey Tim! My name is Stan and I was banded the day after you! Losing weight like you, and it's slowed down a bit but still going down. Not worried about it too much; doc told me this first month post op is all about healing and letting my body adjust to having something stuck inside. weight may act a little weird right now, but after next appointment with him and probable first fill, like he said, "the fun will begin..". so, hang in there.. we take small bites, we chew the hell out of those, and on we go..

let me know how the next appt goes. mine is on Aug. 8.

      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.
