I had my lap band removed 5 weeks ago and at my post op visit I was told I needed to lose 50 pounds before my doctor would do my surgery. Well I weighed in on Friday and I am down 30 pounds in 4 weeks. The nutritionist was so happy with my results that she told the doctor that I am ready for surgery. I will hopefully find out on Monday or Tuesday my surgery date.

OMG!!!

I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago! Good news! Told you November would be your month :)

Thanks! I haven't been on much, as these last two weeks have been crazy. My husband and I are geeting a divorce mainly because he is making me choose between him and my son (not his son). On top of that he does not support me in my decision to have surgery. Enough about that though!

I am super excited. I can wait to hear from the doctor. I will probably call Monday afternoon if I don't hear before then.

I'm sorry to hear that... But it sounds like you are doing what's best for you and your son and that is NEVER wrong!

It sounds like you are handling it well, stay strong.

and you know I'm still hoping you get a nov. 13th date :)

      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.
