August band date



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am needing to pinch myself every once in a while. I am still in shock that I am really going to be doing this. I have looked into WLS for 8 years now. I was first looking at GB. Way before I had even heard of LB. I have a friend that had LB 3 years ago. SHe was really big. Now everytime I see her she has a smile on her face. I know how she feels. I don't even know that I am smiling and someone will say what so funny or why the smile...... I know that this is going to be life changing. I am already starting to exercise. We bought a Wii for he kids and I am using it. Ii have to say that it has been fun. We also bought the wii fit for me and that is fun also. It's not like exercise. It is really fun..... Just thought I would share....... Hugs T:biggrin:

I know how you feel. I still can't believe I am actually going to do this. I was smiling until I started my liquid diet. I am sooo hungry I can't sleep. We got the wii fit about a week ago and my family and I are having a great time with it. I think it's funny how the mii's are sized acording to your weight. I'm looking forward to having a skinny mii!

      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.
