11 Days To Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I am a 34 and morbidly obese. I am 226 lbs right now. I am in my pre- op diet phase. My Lapband surgery is on Februaru 17. I am so ready for this tool to be placed in me for my future health and success. I have wanted this surgery for about 7 years now, and now that it almost time for my surgery I can hardly stand the anticipation. I am ready for all of the steps of the journey. I am sure I will have good and bad days, but I am sure that there will be more good than bad. Good luck to all of you, and God bless.

Congratulations! Welcome to Bandster land and a healthier life. I was banded 12/29 and like you couldn't wait for my day to arrive. I was never nervous, apprehesive or scared. Just so excited and ready to do this! I had to have 3-6 months supervised weight loss 42# and 20 since surgery. I feel so much better physically, mentally and emotionally and so will you. Good luck and we're here for you.

      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.
