Jan 22 Anyone Else?



Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone. I have my lap band surgery set for January 22. I have all my checks set up for this month so hopefully all will go smooth and Jan 22 will be the day my life is forever changed.

I'll be 29 in January and am so ready for this. I have struggled with my weight my WHOLE life. I remember being on diets starting at age 6. Ive also struggled with an eating disorder for 11 years. It's been a constant battle. I don't want food to control my life anymore. I want to be healthy and happy for my husband and two children. I know that this next chapter won't be easy and I welcome the challenge with open arms. I'm looking for people to go through this journey with. Whose with me???

Hi, My surgery was in 2002 on January 22nd. It was the best decision I made. I wish you the best of luck in your journey. Mona

I was banded in August of 2007 and never regretted it. It does require a new way of thinking but if you are mentally ready to accept the change you will do great. For me there was always one more diet to try which always failed at some point. Now I am diabetes free, no more joint pain when walking and not embarassed about my appearance. I wish you well.

      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.
