Going Back To Work One Week After Lapband



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone again. I have been on vacation for one week to heal from lapband surgery. I will go back to work Mon. I am a store manager and the truck we are getting is 900 pieces. For once I will not be helping to unload the truck. It will be hard not to be in the middle of it but I can do it. I am still on liquids and have graduated to pureed Soup. I take out the noodles and potatoes as my surgen said to stay away from them. I feel better. Has anyone tried any soup that is tasty and full of good Vitamins? I might try and make my own because that is what I will be eating more of this coming week along with the Protein Drinks. Still having a hard time getting all my liquids down. Thanks again for all the great info.

Thanks for the tip. I looked at my instant Protein and it does not have what I need. I hope this week my doctor OKs me for scrabbled eggs and cottage cheese.< /p>

I take any of the cream or pre made Soup, put 1/2 cup in my Magic Bullet with lots of spinach and blend it all together. Spinach is loaded with good Vitamins.< /p>

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
