New Support Group @ Johns Creek



Recommended Posts

Warren, thanks for the details. My success so far has been slow, in my opinion. I have lost 40 lbs. so far. I have an appointment for a potential fill this Wednesday. I have 7cc's and feel no restriction. My surgery was performed in Dallas, but the office in Atl seems to be extremely conservative, so I always feel as tho I must be persistent when requesting a fill....I'm basically tired of having to "gear up" with attitude before my appointments! I'm really excited and looking forward to meeting the group.

Angilyn, 40# is nothing to complain about!! Just think that is weight you possibly would not have lost without the LapBand and slowly but surely it will keep coming off. Keep positive and look toward the future. I have had 3 fills thus far and am still not at my "sweet" spot but I think I am getting close. So far I have not met any resistance from my doctor. My next fill is scheduled for the Tuesday afternoon of our next meeting. I was trying to be smart and make only one trip over to that side of town so I combined my doctor's appointment with our Support Group meeting. Look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Take care and keep in touch.

Warren

Thank you for your kind words of support. Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased with my 40# loss and I look forward to working my band to be a big loser! When did you have your surgery? I'm curious to hear of your success also.

Please do! I went there last year for a seminar for lapband....Waited months before I decided to have the surgery. Im in Sugar Hill, right down from James Burgess rd, or I could come up McG Ferry. Thanks so much and I look forward to meeting you all.....

      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.
