TODAY is a New Chapter in MY LIFE!!



Recommended Posts

TODAY, March 4, is my Lap Band Day. Today a new chapter in my life begins. A day that will change me for the better. The day I get HEALTHY!!

Sometimes, I amaze myself of how brave I am. I quit smoking cold turkey 3 years ago and now I am undergoing surgery. If you know me, you know I am a chicken, but I am slowly learning that I am not. I am a strong & confident woman who knows what she wants and is being proactive.

This strength comes from within and from my family. I thank my husband, first of all because of his job we have the insurance that we have and it's covering it 100%. So thank you Honey!!! Also due to my weight, I have been unhappy with myself and it's putting a burden on my marriage. Slowly I am liking myself again. I also need to thank these boards for all your support. You guys inspire me, to be better. Thank you.

So, wish me luck, my surgery is in the afternoon. I AM SUPER EXCITED!!!

TALK TO YOU SOON,

      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.
