Recommended Posts

Hello fello Ohio people! I was banded yesterday at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, by Dr. Trace Curry.:clap2:

I'm feeling really well, just some discomfort. But that's why they have meds, isn't it!

Anyway.. time to walk and drink.. walk and drink...:flock::flock:

Congrats again JazzyWoman.....hope things are still going well for you. I started the process for lap band surgery. I am on a 6 month supervised diet and am attending the seminar on Feb 11th at St Lukes Hospital in Maumee,Ohio. I am excited to do this and hope I get through the process without alot of road blocks.

I'm down 20 pounds!!! Yay!

My butt isn't as big, nor are my legs.. and my jeans are really baggy!!! I just got the go ahead from my dr to start exercising, so I'm gonna get that going. I also got my first fill, and it's not as restrictive as I had hoped, but I go again in 2 weeks.

Keep working Volemt23!! It is all worth it... the process is harder than the actual surgery.

Thanks so much for the support. I am a little nervous after reading so many different things on here and other websites. Is there one particular site or whatever you stuck with to learn more about surgery and stuff. Just was wondering. I also joined the obesityhelp.com site. Seems to be more local people on there,but still trying to figure that site out. I really enjoy this one,but find myself getting lost easily and confused.I am so happy for you that things are going good. I will keep continuing to keep you in my prayers.

      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.
