Hi all,

I had my op on July 25th of this year. I have always been one of those people that would grab a quick cheap snack for lunch when at work and nothing for lunch if I was at home. After getting the band I somehow have learned to pick food better. When I was on my brake at work I walked down the snack food part of the store. Before the band I would have just got a bottle of Water and chip's. Well not anymore I walked past the chip's and got a Soup with 3 grams of Protein.

Yes boy's and girl's I have started to learn to eat right and with the lap band I am going to win.

So proud of me...lol

Stay well all.

Mary

Soup is always a good choice. Low in fat and calories, high in Protein and filling. Good job!

You should be proud. When you work in a store with groceries it there is always temptation waiting to jump off the shelves at you. Keep up the good work!

      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.
