I'm down 32 lbs so far. The nurse practitioner told me yesterday that because I had a revision from a lap band my weight loss will be a little slower but 32 lbs sheesh I'm not complaining. I won't lie to you the first few weeks I felt like what the hell did I do to myself but it gets much better every day just stick to the guidelines they give you and you will be fine. Whatever you do don't cheat you will pay for it. Good luck and feel free to message me with questions. I will say this forum helped tremendously.

I had mine with Dr. Redmann in Slidell on 6/17. At my post op, which was 6/25, I was down 10lbs! Trying not to get too obsessed with weighing at home! Ha! Glad to see a lot worked out with Ochsner! I started with them and after I was done with my stuff, they never sent it off to insurance! Justine was my dietician and I really liked her as well! I ended up switching to Dr. Redmann after my gallbladder decided to act up, got stuff transferred and was ready to go! Good luck to everyone on your weight loss!

      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.
