July 8th is my date!



Recommended Posts

I just got confirmation that everything is approved and I am scheduled for July 8th as my surgery date! I am so excited! :cursing: I hope to become familiar with as many July bandsters as possible, as my doctor's support groups mainly focus on RNY patients.

Be realistic, lap band is not the answer to weight loss. It takes diet, excercise and a really good, conservative doctor. Just remember it took time to gain the weight, it will take time, effort and patience to lose it.

After my band, I lost some lbs. then nothing for 6 to 8 months, until the right amount of saline in my band. I have an 11cc band and I presently have a fill at 6cc. Over the last year I have lost 30 lbs and inches and look a lot better, I read some of these postings and I found I did not fit into a big group of fast losers. It is about your health, and the future, it is about forever.

      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.
