I got my lap band yesterday



Recommended Posts

I have been waiting for years to finally start this journey and I am so excited! Yesterday I was in alot of pain, today it's mainly discomfort. Before my pre op diet I was 243, yesterday at the hospital I weighed in at 229! So far so good!

Great job and glad to hear your feeling well. Welcome to the Lap Band club!

I had my revision & plication yesterday also and so far I am doing well...just feel like I've done a ton of sit ups and am pretty tender. Unfortunately, my surgery had some complications and my surgeon had to remove a ton of scar tissue/adhesions from previous abdominal surgeries. So excited to have a working band again and get full on a few sips of liquids!

Good luck!

How are you feeling today? Holding up and enjoying your Protein shakes? What are your diet restrictions and plan?

I'm sick of 'sweet' already so we went grocery shipping last night and picked up some Tomato juice, chicken broth, sweet potato puree, pudding, ricotta cheese, grits, Noosa Yoghurt, and a few other things for the future as my diet progresses.

Even after having had a band for 10 years especially with not having any great restriction in the past three years up until now just looking at the size of my Noosa Yoghurt has me overwhelmed as it looks like way too much food! Hope my head and my stomach stay in sync and I can continue to be in that same state of mind for a long while to come!

Hoping your doing well!

I just had some strawberry Jello and I made it through the cup without freaking out! So happy right now. Later I'm going to have done Greek yogurt.

      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.
