Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say hello to everyone. A big thankyou to bandayed if this makes it where i want it to go. I was banded Feb 10 2006 by Dr. Marsden and so far good. I got my second fill april 10th that has been hard some days i do just fine, but there have been somedays that i have thrown up. Until this last fill never had,really never even thought of it. I think i may be still eating to fast at times. I have done very well health and weight. I could not take any pain meds. never have been able make me sick. I have to say I did just fine without first day could have used a little help but still made it fine.

I was so glad to have found this site. There are so many ?'s you have but no one to ask them of. I can't tell you how at the (begining) just reading everything gave me the answer I needed,so a big THANK YOU!:(

Hope I did this ok and if did looking forward to talking to everyone.

Bye

Judy

Welcome Judy,

I'm glad you are doing so well with your band. I've found a whole new "family" at this site.

Hi Everybody!

I'm still waiting for my insurance to get back to me. I went ahead and joined the Lapbandtalk because I am going to pay cash if my ins. does not pay so I wanted to start looking at the pros and cons of the lapband. When you go to the Seminars, they make it sound like there are no cons but the more I hear, looks like there are plenty of cons but I definitely believe that the pros will certainly out-weigh the cons. I just wish I already hand by band. I will stay in touch and see how everyone is doing. I need to lose 80 lbs. I wish everyone the best!!!

thank you everyone for the welcome it has helped so much. xena it is good you found this site because you will be better for knowing a little about what is going to happen. I just entered computer world after was banded and it has been hard not knowing anything. After found this place so many ?'s answered. I don't know if i would have gone forward if i had read everything before. I did band more to stop loseing and then gaining it all back again to start all over. That is still my hope that i will be able to keep it off after i get where i want to be.

thanks for warm welcome

judy

      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.
