Lap Band - No Tobacco - 3 Root Canals



Recommended Posts

This year has been great so far........ I had my lap band on the 10th

and things have been going well. I have also quit dipping... that is

a little harder, but getting throught it...

And oh yeah last Friday I had three root canals and Dang! This has been

a tough year so far!

My mini goal for weight is 300 by the end of March. My goal for dipping is to stay stopped! And my goal for my root canals.... is never have another one EVER!!

Those are good goals and it sounds like you are doing fine. I just ask for gas at the dentist and I love every minute of it...no kidding! That stuff is awesome!

Good for you!

2007 was my "Start to get healthy and take care of myself" year.

I got my band and 2 root canals I've been putting off forever!! I also started taking Vitamins and exercising. It feels great! I've even upped my 401K deductions because now I feel like I'm going to live a much longer life :biggrin:

      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.
