Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I am new here and I'm so glad I found this sight. My name is Ruffian and I am due to have the Lap band done this Friday. I am new to the Jacsonville are and would like to talk to some of the Florida people but it said I needed a password. Any kind of info and or advice I am all ears. Thanks for reading.

Wow, you are so close to start your new journey. I have to wait 13 days for mine but I'm so ready. I will also go Lapband and I hope to use this tool as best as I can. I'm tired of a big yo-yo that I've been on for years. I have all my food products ready for the first month and 6 months of chewable Vitamins.

Best wishes on your band day, Ruffian. Check in and tell us how you're feeling. Lots of experts and forum members who ahve gone through this already to assist all of us. All you have to do is ask.

Good luck to all of you. I have been banded over 2 yrs and it was the best decision I have ever made. Have patience, ask lots of questions and follow the band rules.

Welcome

Welcome and congratulations Ruffian! Wishing you a smooth recovery! My surgery is in 4 days and this site has been so helpful! You will soon find the members on this site to be encouraging, reassuring and inspirational. And there's no sugar-coating here :) I've learned so much from the experiences of others who already been banded. Congrats again on your big day. God Bless you.

      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.
