Ok...lap band in.



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone-

Just figured I'd touch base as I haven't for a while. I got banded on the 28th, and I'm healing really quickly and don't have much discomfort at all. The only thing I'm frustrated about is not being able to go right back to my workout routine, which was aggressive.

I figure that by Thursday the 7th, I'll be back on the incumbent bike hitting my cardio at the very least. Probably won't be back into the jujitsu and muay thai for a few months.

Still haven't figured out the ticker thing, I did what everyone told me as far as cutting and pasting it into the area on UserCP, but it still isn't working. Anyway, I'm down 35 pounds since the 18th of January, hopefully under 300 by the end of March (324 now)

I hope all you guys are well... and we should defnitely get together for a lunch again in Braintree. I'd love to see how you all are doing.

John

Hi John, I just wrote another thread to explain why I haven't been on in a long time (problems logging in) so I changed to Nanavivian. I was Nana.

I had read about your surgery. Congratulations on doing so well. Long story short, I am having surgery Tues. March 6th. unexpectedly. I had been reading but I couldn't post. I figured while I could, I would check in. I am nervous and excited.:nervous So glad you had no discomfort. Keep us informed. Nana

John, congratulations! And Nana, good luck! I'm sure everything will be fine. I believe everyone gets a bit nervous, it's normal.

      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.
