Still Struggling



Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm Stacy. I have had two lapband surgery. The first one was 12/06 and the band was too small and I was very sick so my surgeon took out the band and replaced it with a large band in March of 2009.

I really haven't lost much weight. I recently started exercising again but I have been eating all the wrong foods so I still am not losing.

I am on here, just to claim my seat and learn from those who have had success with the band.

Hi, I'm two years out I sympathize with You because it isn't a cake walk having the band. I have had my ups and downs with the band. I am having terrible acid reflux that I never had before in two years. Through all of the productive burping and stuck episodes I have success! My starting weight was 294 I now weigh 191. So just be patient and work with the band.

I'm not banded yet but try to stay focused and think about where you want to be. Make mini goals and write everything down. Don't lose focus on the reason you had this surgery you can be successful ! I'm praying for your success.

      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.
