New Here, Like To Tell You A Little Bit About Myself & Lapband Journey



Recommended Posts

Hi,

My name is Jessica I'm 40 years old, Live In CT, I started this LapBand Journey in Oct. 2011,

I was always a healthy person I weighed 100 pounds until I hit my 30rds after having my daughter,My current weight is 222 which for me with such a small frame is alot of weight..I can't do the thing I want to with my daughter,My back hurts just walking out of my driveway, I'm always out of breath, I now have sleep apena due to all this weight..I want to get back down to my current weight..I know the lapband is just a tool, But I have to do most of the work myself...My phytrist did not clear me the first time I went to see him,I have another appt with him today and I'm hoping he clears me today..I've been doing the work taking all drs suggestions, being honest with him,I don't know what more he wants..When I first went to my first appt. with the lap band surgeon I weighed 249 pounds, I am now 222punds so that over 25 pounds I lost, I'm trying to eat healthy, I know thats the biggest mental change for me..I quanity of food I consume and eating "Healthy"..But I really don't know what more this phytrists wants from me???Hopefully he will clear me today, So I can get my Surgery Date..Thanks for reading my bio any suggestions I will definately take..

      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.
