Just Checking In, Seminar In Oct.



Recommended Posts

I'm checking off the days on my calender. I will be attending my senimar on the 4th, the first step, I'm getting excited, learning as much as I can.

My friend is having by-pass surgery this friday, she is excited, everyone tells me not to waste my time with the lapband and to have gastric by-pass, that I wont lose that much weight. but I know this is the best option.

Hey lachica 39- I was banded the end of August & will have my 1st fill the day you have your surgery & my friends said the same to me about having the B-pass instead but I don't want the worry of something irrversable as well as dumping on myself while I'm giving an important work presentation.. I haven't lost much weight yet but that will all begin after my fill in Oct. & I hoep to lose 50lbs by Dec. and then 70 by March so I'll keep you posted on how I do. I do exercise a lot though. There is another website where I've been getting great support from people -better than here so I'll give you it now Info on the Lap Band weight loss surgery - Weight Loss Alternatives<br /> Good luck to you & you made the right decision Steph!

      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.
