Dh had WLS...now it's my turn!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

My husband Squale had lapband 6 weeks ago, is down 55lbs and now it is my turn.

I am going to the initial consult next week, the nutritionist and psych the week after and hope to have surgery the first week of July.

I've been fat my entire life save a few years as a child...and, after having twins and a singleton in 22 months, decided it was time to make time for me!

So, here I am waiting for insurance approval and a go ahead from the dr.

Looking forward to meeting all of you further!

Rainer

Congrats! Both of you being banded will be helpful, you can be each other's support. My DH laughs when I go through the things he did, but then again he understands it better then anyone else I know, he already was there.

Hi there and welcome to LBT! I think it is great when couples go through the banding process together (even if it is a few weeks apart). What a great support system you can be for each other. I hope you get your insurance approved quickly and are in bandland soon!

Hi Rainer!!

I've met your nice hubby in real life, and I can't wait to meet you at a support meeting. You and I can be baby bandsters together, since my re-banding is scheduled for June 4 and it feels like I'll be starting from scratch. Welcome to LBT, and I'm sure I'll see you around!!

Hi ladies,

Thanks so much for your welcome. Pat is doing such a great job, I'm so proud of him...but, at the same time, I am JEALOUS as heck!!

Alexandria, Pat told me that you met at the support meeting. He said that you are a sweetheart and very inspirational. And you're right...he is a super nice guy.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you!

Rainer

      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.
