5 more days! EEK! I'm excited



Recommended Posts

My surgery is on Wednesday. I'm really excited about it, nervous too. I have been reading these " Lapband didn't work for me" posts and those scare me, I mean granted I truly believe that if you follow the diet and you have discipline in nutrition/exercise it will work. This is a big step for me, I'm looking forward to not having to worry about future health problems and being able to go shopping!!! Although I'm already sick of my Protein Shakes, and it's really too hot to be working out...I'm doing it. I'm also looking forward to using this board more and more as I progress...so...I'll let you all know how it goes! :lol:

ok 6 day post op and I'm going to buy a scale today to see how much I've lost already. I can't drive until my post-op which sucks, but everything is good. I'm keeping the gas under control with Gas-X I suggest you guys buy some you WILL need it. I'm ready to actually eat something! I'm just eager to get on my way to being healthy. I'm going to do weight watchers with my band. I'm really excited about it all. The first night at home was the worst, but day by day I get better. Hope everyone else is doing well!

I am 4 days post op today! I feel really good. I have found that drinking hot tea really soothes my tummy if I start to feel nausea. I am drinking tons of Water,jello,popsicles and an occasional Protein shake. Yesterday I started eating creamed soup! Yummy. That really made a difference as well. My doc put me on thick liquids for 3 weeks! YIKES! But on the up side I am down 11 lbs! So good luck to all and keep up the good work!

My surgery is Wednesday as well but won't know what time until Tuesday. Reminding myself to put gas-x on my shopping list. I agree with the waiting for Christmas remark. Other than marrying my second husband 9 years ago and the birth of my two boys (20 plus years ago), this is the most excited I have been in a while. I'm motivated.....: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.
