Social Group created for 6 month supervised dieters.



Recommended Posts

I couldn't find a place for all of us who are on a 6 month supervised diet for insurance purposes and when we did post they always seem to get lost in the crowd. So I made a group for us all. If you are on a 6 month diet join please! :lol:

Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum - 6 Month Supervised Diet People :)

Also I added a forum for us all to chat in :huh2:

6 Month Supervised Diet People :redface: - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum :lol:

What a great idea, Froggi. Nice to have others to rely on that are going through the same thing. And others might jump in with advice that are no longer doing the diet.

Awesome, I didn't start yet, though I will be -someday, soon I hope. I did my initial paperwork and sent it back. Now I'm waiting for Dr. Office to get all the paperwork from my PCP and schedule my consult.

Hi everyone! I've been doing my 6 month pre-op supervised diet now for almost a year! I finally had my psych eval today (560 questions!) and the therapist said that she was recommending me for the lap band! Anyway, I've decided to keep going to my weekly meetings kind of as a support group and we can keep going for as long as we want so I figured "what the heck" it couldn't hurt. Even if it takes longer than 6 months - don't give up hope.:thumbup:

      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.
