Recommended Posts

Hello, after 4months of extensive research and reading all the threads in this forum its about time i joined up..:ranger: I attended the free seminar at Epworth Hospital in Boxhill last night and today I called and got an appointment to see the surgeon this Thursday.:whoo:......Im so excited but also scared :omg:cause reality just hit after i made the appointment that my decision and research into getting lapband is on the road to actually happening..............

Has anyone else been banded at Epworth by Mr Patrick Moore?

I have also got another seminar booked for October 7 at the Avenue, but im not going to wait , ive decide Epworth will be the one!

Many thanks! I am glad that I could be of some inspiration.

Farax was one of my first mushies! LOL, I remember that "meal" well! I honestly don't know how I fed my son that garbage. Maybe it tastes better with breast milk?

Don't get too baby food happy. You will find that a lot of regular foods will purée very well, and will be far more appetising than baby foods.

      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.
