Recommended Posts

I am new to lapband talk and I been reading this site for a few weeks now, and what everyone had to say, it's help me alot to think about what I need to do after the surgery and what foods are good to eat after wards. So now I think i am ready to make this Journey to a new life. I am glad to know I have a place to come to if I have any questions or concerns after i have this done wish me luck I get banned on September 1, 2006 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Thanks

Hi!

I'm in Texas, too!

Just wanna say good luck, and congratulations to you!

LBT is a great place for info and support...just skip past the family squabbles that pop up here and there...and ask anything you need to know!

Also, use the "search" feature located on the top of the page, across the top, where "User CP" is on the left. That way you can find info you need that has already been posted!

Nice to meet you!

Cindy

Welcome to LBT, soon you will be banded--how exciting!! Are any of these places in Texas anywhere near Comanche? A small place not far from Brownwood, or Temple. We are there several times a year.

Good Luck with your surgery, and your recovery!

Hello , I do not know what to do here but here goes.

I'm scheduled to be banded September 8th. I have been lurking for about a month now. I must say all of you are very informative. I truly enjoy this forum and you all have made me very relaxed. September 8th at 10AM. I am a little nervous but nothing like I was before I found you guys!

I guess I should have told you all I am in Wichita Falls Texas. My surgery will be here and will be done by Dr. Brett May. I am a self pay. My insurance wouldn't cover this but I figure if I want to live I will find a way to get it done.

Welcome TexasBr@t and valgal from another Texan. Lots of us here. I'm grateful that we have a bunch of great band surgeons in our state. I'm pretty new myself and still learning about how my band act (or acts up!).

Stay in touch.

Terry :)

      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.
