looking for someone to guide me through this



Recommended Posts

OK, I'm suppose to say my name and age, gender and where I am from, my weight now and what I want my weight to be, and few other things. So I will, I just hope I don't bore anyone.

My name is Stacy, I live in a small town in SouthEast, Tennessee and I just turned 30 last month. I have been married to a wonderful and supportive man by the name of Mark, for 4 months. We have 4 beautifull and wonderfull children. 2 are his from his previous marriage and 2 are mine from my previous marriage.

I am a Certified Nursing Assistant that at the moment stay home with her disabled daughter to take care of her. I hope to soon be able to enter back into the workforce.

I currently weigh 264lbs (SHHH) with a BMI of 46.8 By the time it's all said and done I hope to have lost down to atleast 145lbs. I am scheduled for my lapband on August 18, 2008 while I am so happy and excited to be having this finally done, I am very nervous over having it done. I'm sure everyone that has had this surgery has went through the nervous spell.

I hope this is enough....

      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.
