Hello there I'm new



Recommended Posts

We have a secret code name for my Lap Band procedure in my house and it is called The Dance or Lap Dance. That is why I chose LAP DANCER for a name.

I have my appt. with my surgeon on Monday. We will set a date at that time. I have completed all the required things and am simply waiting to have it done.

Nice to be here and I look forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome to the board. I've had my band one year and I'm thrilled with the results. I hope that you will have much success along your journey as well. Good luck!

To Yvonne: Best to you on Monday. Do let us know how you are doing, feeling.... I'm so excited for you.

To Grace: The secret code name ended up being a funny thing. Thanks for agreeing with me. I think that code is better than something like "and the rooster crows at midnight" you know? (laughing)

Dolphin Dreams: You must be by the ocean! I love your name.

Fitz: Thank you for the warm welcome.

Hi all,

I am also having my surgery on Monday. The nerves are beginning to kick in. I am feeling very restless but don't want to do anything. I need support to get me through the week end.

Well, like everyone i love your name, welcome to the community

It does feel like a community Charles. Thanks so much.

CarMVitzHi all,

I am also having my surgery on Monday. The nerves are beginning to kick in. I am feeling very restless but don't want to do anything. I need support to get me through the week end.

Monday is a special day for me too. Best of luck to you CarMVitz. I'll be thinking of those who have gone before me. Maybe what you are feeling isn't so much nerves kicking in but the adreneline of EXCITEMENT of what is yet to be!

My surgery is also on Monday 11/27, and yes, I am a bundle of nerves. Can't wait for it to be over.

I'm new here too. I think what is such a thrill for me is reading those posts where people say things like the above "my is Monday" and then you see them post back afterwards. HealthQuest I wish it were me on Monday. But I will bide my time. Soon enough. Sincerest wishes for a quick in and out. Be healthy!

      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.
