Recommended Posts

I got the call today- Surgery will be Dec 30th! I am so excited. I was told earlier in the month that it wouldn't happen in December because there were more important cases. I am so thankful and excited!!!! Bring on the liquid diet! I can do this!

I was told it probably wouldn't happen in Dec also, but I have my date for the 30th and Ins co say approval will be by the end of today. I started my pre-surgery diet yesterday. They told me 2 weeks ahead or less if I got a date and didn't have that much time. So I went ahead and started, even though the ins approval hadn't happened yet, because there should be no reason for denial. I have my fingers and my toes crossed.

Hello everyone,

I am also scheduled for my revision lap band to VGS on December 29th, I will be going home on Dec 31st.

Was actually unexpected when I have the call that the doctor agreed to do it 3 weeks after removing my lap band. I am on a liquid diet as well.

Starting our new year

Good luck to all of us

      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.
