Getting banded on sept. 3rd



Recommended Posts

I am 22 years old getting my sugary very soon. I am scared and excited all at the same time. I start my pre op diet on Tuesday hope I can make it through the pre op diet. I was approve a year ago and wanted to try one last time to do it my self. I was able to loose 20lbs by myself. But I know I have to do something before I get bigger so decided to go through with lap band. Hopefully this will be the tool to finely get ride of this weight.

Hey, you can always try another diet? They work so well?

Seriously, we see patients on here all the time with the same issues. It can last till 2 weeks post surgery but if you feel like you've tried everything else in the world, why not try this? But make sure you make the commitment.

I struggled with my weight my whole life believe me I tried so many things. I gave my self one last effort on trying on my own. I am proud I was able to loose some weight but I know i need help in my eating portion. Hopefully this well help me loose even more weight with my diet and exercise routine that I already have in place.

Every doctor is different! Might depend on your BMI.

I have a higher BMI of 55 so my pre op will be 3weeks :(

      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.
