Just checking in after a year and one month from my Lap-band surgury



Recommended Posts

:whoo:Hello to ALL

Just wanted to check in after have my lapband for 13 month. I have lost 110 lbs and with little complication. I say that if I have a problem that is is self inflicted. I am down 5 pants sizes and feeling Great. I am off 3 of my meds and my blood pressure is down to 113/76 which has not been that way sence I was 10 I think. Other then that everything is going great and I had to do it again I would do it ASAP. I was just at the doctor last week and they stated that I was at the right spot in my wieght loss program and that I have lost 40 % of my excess wieght. Remember that with a lap-band you should lose 70 to 85% of your wieght in two years so I guess I am right on track.

I hope everyone else is lossing and not having any coplications.

Good luck to all:clap2::clap2::clap2:

      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.
