LBT more than a year later



Recommended Posts

I love this site.

It's been well over a year since I got started on here. I know my avatar says I've been on for ages but I didn't really start hanging around until after I was banded.

Well, I think this site is fantastic. There are pages and pages of stuff I never read, but low and behold something new pops up and 20 minutes later reading everyones experiences and I have a better understanding about what I can expect.

Specifically? I just got a fill today. I was on the fence about getting it, I'm very close to my sweet spot. Anyway, I feel pretty confident that I can ride this out a few days if I stick to my beginning bandster rules. I read a few threads that agree with that and some other things to be mindful of and I'm just relieved.

Thanks so much for all the support. It's appreciated.

Juli, congratulations on the weight loss! You've done fantastic and I hope you are proud of yourself.

I agree that this is a fantastic site...for the most part. :) There is a lot of knowledge and support available. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking about banding, about to be banded or banded already. There is a wealth of experience here to rely on.

Keep up the good work!

      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.
