Restarting my journey



Recommended Posts

I had my lapband in 2010 and was a huge success. But after two years in I went though a real bad trama I. Which leans me to depression and I started to gain. I have gained 110 lbs and had a revision on my band. I'm exited to restart my journey. I found this site in hopes to find good advise and some type of support and motivation. Thank to all and good luck in your journey as well

Hi Lisacaron

Thanks for the warm welcome! The revision was to replace the band back ninnies position because it was slipping due to me traveling. I was going back in fourth to Puerto Rico deal with family issue and the altitude of the plane would make my band slip.

That is the best part of the lap band because you can always get back on track. We all go through crap and it is easy to gain when you are depressed. After all we for the most part as women are emotional eaters. You will get back where you want to be one day at a time.

      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.
