Recommended Posts

I am new here and hoping to be able to talk to others that might be going through the same things I am! I am so excited that I went through with my lap-band surgery, it was the best life changing decision that I have ever made! I want to be around for my family and be able to live life like I used to without this weight hanging around me!

Welcome, Sonia. The forums here are a great place to share ups and downs, look for advice, get support, and just hang out. Everyone either has been through what you have, or is gearing up to go through it soon. Congratulations on your surgery! With the great attitude you've expressed, I'm sure you'll have great success. :)

Thank you both so much, I have never been one to do support groups or ask for help, but my husband talked me into this and I am glad he did!!!! I am looking up some things that I have questions about and hope to get some answers. Everything is very new and I am still just trying to figure out what my new tummy is telling me!!!

      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.
