Lap Band Fam .. I Need Help!



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited to say that today I finally hit the big -70. This band has seriously been the best thing I've ever done for myself.

In a last ditch effort to win myself a reward i have a favor to ask. I apologize in advance for this but stay with me. For the past week I have been competing in an internet contest for a complete eyewear makeover. At the beginning I was sweeping the whole thing and got so excited that I might actually win this thing, but all of sudden yesterday some lady came out of left field and started leading. Apparently she's a school teacher and had all kinds of kids vote for her. So on the last night of the competition, I'm trailing by less than 100 votes. I've cashed out everyone I know for votes so in one last ditch effort to take back this competition I wanted to reach out to my lovely lap band community and ask if you would vote for me. It's a facebook/like the page kind of contest.

Since today I hit the big 7-0 lbs I figured I'd go out of the box and see if I can win myself and awesome reward

Here's the link: https://apps.facebook.com/ecanc-photo-contest/Contest.psp?c=110830&u=27333&a=374012022642395&p=88153691047&v=Entry&id=332981&rest=1

      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.
