Lap Band Surgery One Month Ago Today. Doing Great.



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am Jeannie and on October 19th I had the Lap Band surgery, by Dr. Matthew Lublin. So far I have lost 12lbs. My band is the Realize band and I had my first fill last Thursday the 17th and I received 5.6 cc's. I am really loving this journey.

Thanks for the update. Us pre-op newbies are always looking for positive outcomes. BTW have you found it hard mentally at times or fairly easy?

I think that I have been very fortunate in that I have not been wanting things I shouldn't have. Well that is not entirely true, I have been having a small bit of crackers, which I shouldn't have but I keep my servings small so that I don't go bonkers and eat a whole box. I do believe that part of it is that without the breads I have not been craving sweets.

I'm LaToya and it's been 1 month since my lapband surgery. My surgeon was Dr Michael Williams in Alpharetta Ga. I just got my first fill of 2cc today. I've lost 15lbs already!

      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.
