here is my xray i had done today on my lapband/plication during a barium swallow...dr said it was a textbook lap band picture and this made me happy....i am doing well at 17 months post op..down another 2 pounds since weigh in last week--whoop whoop

so here is my xray

10826731473_f48f3768f6.jpg

dr showed me xray of someone whose pouch was stretched and it looked like a balloon on top of the band...they said for that to happen, a person must overeat a lot and past the point of pain/hurting..and due to non compliance of the amount they eat..mainly patient fault..this is from my dr.. so dont do that ok...i saw it and it looked painful as hell......

and frankly...we went through a lot to have surgery...stupid to not follow your dr's rules

This is great! Love the "textbook" part. In other words, perfect.

      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.
