Has Surgery 4 Days Ago



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I just want to introduce myself. My name is Amy & I just had my lap-band surgery on Wednesday the 22nd. I have lost 10.8 pounds since staring the liquid diet the week prior to surgery. Although I don't feel hungery I can not wait to be able to chew my food again. Good Luck to you all.

I feel good, just sore in the area where the port is. I was up walking around within a half hour after surgery. Good luck to you :)

Be sure to join the August 2012 lap band support group too. You'll find others that had surgery the same day as you.

Congratulations Amy! You are doing great! Be positive and keep the Faith. I drove next day and then attended a weight support seminar in my home town. The people wee amazed that I was good and alert the day after.

Cheers and Best wishes

      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.
