getting banded on March 19th



Recommended Posts

I have all but one clearance.. go for pre-op on 3/6 and find out my surgery time. Trying to keep to a one regular meal a day diet and 2 meals of protien drink. Seems easy now, but my Dr requires 4 weeks of liquid diet after surgery, then 2 weeks pureed and 2 weeks soft, before going to any "solid" food...ugh

my surgeon is Dr. Gail Wynn

in Newark, DE

This is a great bunch of March 2008 band date folks and if you want to come on over to the thread for March 2008 bandsters, there is a group of everyone starting the journey about the same time together.

The thread is under Monthly Support Groups - 2008 and then March 2008.

Good luck to all March Banders. I had my surgery on Nov.14 th and I have lost 45 pounds and 38 inches. I was wearing a size 22 before and now wear a 16 and it feels great. I was on a slim fast diet for my 2 weeks but I drank chicken broth and had Jello. If you can make it through the liquid diet the lap band is a breeze. Good luck to all of you.

I am being banded in Monterrey Mexico on 4/7/2008. I am a diabetic Type 2 taking insulin. Has anyone out there been in my place and is now off the insulin?

Hi Lonestar:

It is a small blender. There are infomercials on tv for it. They usually are mixing the cool drinks, but they will blend all kinds of stuff. I think you can get them in Walmart or department stores like it.

      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.
