Blogging :)



Recommended Posts

So I have noticed that a lot of you are posting YouTube Videos of your experience. I am not at all comfortable posting videos of myself I have decided to post a new blog on my blog site. I will be posting about my experience with the lap band and also with the research study I am apart of that goes with this surgery.

Here is the link to my blog: My surgery is not scheduled until October 30 but I have posted about my process with getting my surgery approved and with the research Study.

I've found that blogging really helps me feel accountable for what I'm doing. I saw the You Tube videos of others and felt inspired but wasn't brave enough to video myself. I post on blogspot too but then copy and paste to my blog on here. Feel free to check mine out as well http://www.amandasramble.blogspot.com

Good luck!

I have my blog on here. If you add me as a friend you should be able to view it straight from my profile! I have it set to friends only so I don't get views from non LBT members.

      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.
