My lapband has changed my life.



Recommended Posts

I had lapband surgery in May of 2006, my weight at my surgery date was 386 but I know I was over 400 pounds at some point previous to that. I was about to be a diabetic, severe sleep apnea, and just was going down a road towards death. Today I am happy to say I have hit 231 lbs went from wearing size 52" pants to 34"-36", wear xlarge shirts as opposed to 3x and 4x. I am able to play basketball with 20 year olds and run miles with know pain or sucking wind. I have to be honest sex life is better than ever, I swear my member is bigger than it has ever been so if any guys need encouragement weight loss has been all worth it from a libido and below the belt stand point for me. Enjoying my new body and would do it all over again.

I've "heard" that for every ten pounds a man loses, he gains an inch... Regardless, enjoy the new you!

      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.
