I dont think anyone is being rude but really some things that are asked should have been covered by your doctor, nutritionist. I have said it a million times and been told off a million times but your doctors are getting paid to be at your service 24 hours a day 7 days a week. When I came home from the hospital I knew what I could eat for the first 12 weeks after surgery. Your surgeons office should have provided you with a list of acceptable foods and at what stage you could have them. If they didn't then you need to call them and ask them. We all had different directions and ours might not be what your doctor wants you to have. Although it may seem simple to ask us but I agree with Jean we are not certified nutritionist to provide you with that answer then if something happens you will blame us that we told you to eat it. Not being rude but being honest and truthful

I think its a huge concern if you have't already planned out what you should be eating through each stage an what your doctor has told you to do.

Weeks before I went in for surgery I tested out so many different foods for each stage and how to eat it and made sure I enjoyed it and then checked with my doctor to make sure it was allowed. I also made sure I had all the stages completely understood and wrote them on the fridge.

You should never go into surgery and make such a big life decision if you aren't sure of a plan, or what you are suppose to do afterwards. It also worries me that your doctor hasn't supplied you with enough information.

Well everyone seems to be saying the same thing. "Stick to your Drs instructions". Hmmmm,are we all rude?

I don't think so. Everyone here wants every lap bander to succeed and the only way to do that is follow your Drs instructions and rely on your LB team, meaning surgeon,nutritionist & therapist.

      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.
