I've got a Date with a Lap-Band!



Recommended Posts

Well today it finally happened. I was given my date for my lap band surgery.

Finally after all the years of shopping for whatever fit me then shopping for what I wanted.

Finally after all the years of standing behind in a photo to hide instead of up front.

Finally after all the years of food being in control of me, I will be in control of my food.

In a little over a month everything that has always been in front of me will be behind me....way behind.

Wish me luck!

Congratulations, JoJoLYC! I'm a 'newbie' too - I joined the forum 2 years ago, but only now had the courage to book my surgery and start making the changes my body has been so desperately craving.

My surgery is December 18th. So I'm just a few weeks ahead of you. Hey - we can keep each other posted on how we're doing!

Way to go!

Jan 14th

That was my surgery date as well. I'll be two years out on the 14th. Wishing you as much success as I've had.

      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.
