Six Weeks Post Op...And All Okay!



Recommended Posts

It's been six weeks since my lap band surgery and I have to tell you so far I am extremely happy of how it is helping me lose my weight.

I underlined that because I see alot of people who are somewhat disheartened with their outcome so far. The band will not work miracles for you. Its a 50/50 plan that you have to work with as well.

You can do it and you can make this happen for you.

So far in the past 6 weeks I am proud to say that 51 pounds are gone that I will never see back again. Sayonara, Good Riddence and dont let the door hit you in the #$%.

Best of Luck to all

Well done! You are rocking the band!

I agree with you completely - there are bandsters our there who are desperate to lose the weight, yet they haven't modified their eating habits, the quality of food consumed or the speed at which they consume it. No wonder they progress is slow, or stalled.

I've found myself stalling here and there (damn you, cabernet sauvignon addiction!), and when I do, I remind myself of the 8 golden rules by watching the videos again. Never fails to kick start my weight loss again by reminding me of the importance of keeping up MY end of the "banding bargain".

Congrats on your loss! AMAZING!

      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.
