Feb Dates Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi bandtobypass's,

I will be having my band to bypass revision on Feb 6th, excited and nervous is the feeling... Hopefully this will conclude my weight-loss journey

No more stuck feeling, saliva producing hours of fun... Since 2008 at 250 pounds and one revision of the band due to leak 50

Pound loss has become only 15 pounds. Sad but true I am lapband challenged. Found out that women have the tougher time

Than men. Go figure... Here's hoping my scar tissue isn't to bad, my gallbladder looks good, i have no leaks and if any tubes or catheters have to

Be placed they are removed before I get discharged......

Good luck!!!! I'm a band to bypass as well except one of the unlucky ones that when he removed my band had too much scary issue and inflammation so got sent home for 6 months to heal :/. Six long darn months!!! I'm up for the actual revision on Feb. 11 and oh so ready!!! There's a thread called Fabulous February under pre-op that has all the Feb folks!

      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.
