Recommended Posts

Hey Banders . . . I am.post op Day4 & I just want to share a positive testimony on the LapBand. I was banded 8/29/13 & my experience has been Awesome! I have followed protocol to.the tee and has made Gas X and walking a must for at least a 1/2 hour a day, especially after drinking/eating . . . Have a great morning routine. I take my liquid vitamins, Mirilax stool softner, and antibiotics, all spaced out so that Im not all filled up with liquids, then I walk a bit to get it all going through allowing myself to burp and allow that full filling to subside. Then I go and get ready for the.day and by this time I am.ready to start a Protein Shake to.make sure I get that important Protein in. But today for.lunch I wanted some Soup and I used my Nutri Bullet to put in some homemade chicken.soup with all the fresh vegetables you can imagine and pureed the crap out of it and warmed it on the stove and maaann . . . It was Fabulous!! I thank God that my Nutri Bullet not only Helped me through my pre op diet but is now going to be used for the rest of my Lapband journey . . . Hope this has been a positive testament for someone!

I too have had a FANTASTIC experience so far, I am 3 weeks post op and loving every day more than the last!! I following the program to the tee also and I believe that is why I have had such a positive experience. My nutritionist advised me not to use a Nutri Bullet because it would put too much air in the whatever I'm mixing. Do what works for you, I imagine putting it in a pot and heating it would allow the air to work its way out. Good luck on your journey, in my 52 years, it is one of the best decisions I have EVER, EVER, EVER made.

      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.
