7 Days Post Op and all is okay!



Recommended Posts

So its been a week since my LapBand surgery and I have to say, not much to complain about.

Maybe for a few minor pinches by my wounds when getting into bed. But other than that it has been smooth sailing so far. Whats great about this is that since I started my PreOp liquid diet until today which is 20 days.

I have lost a total of 29.5 pounds.

I keep hydrated, drink all my Protein, (more when hungry...which is rare) and take my walks when the weather allows me.

Everything is going great! I see my doctor for the first time this coming thursday.

Thanks for all your support during this time!!!!!

Way to go Jojo! Keeping hydrated and getting all your Protein is still a daily thing for me and i'm almost 4 years out. You're creating great habits!

Best wishes!

      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.
