Do you have a nickname for your lap band?



Recommended Posts

I was wondering do you have a nickname for your lap band. My friends think I should have one and I think this is a fun topic to post. So let's do a lap band roll call! :D

I don't have a nick name for mine, but my Dr. played along with my desire to pretend that my band is pink and covered in Coach "C's". :)

Audrey. She is named after the character in the musical "Little Shop of Horrors." Audrey had one line, "FEED ME!" and everytime I get a loud gurgle I say it is Audrey saying, "Feed me!" Then after a few ounces of food she said, "thanks that's enough STOP FEEDING ME!" For those of you who may not remember Audrey she was a man eating plant and had to be fed a person a day. OK, so I am a sick puppy!

      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.
