2008 lap band conference



Recommended Posts

I thought about it, but I decided not to go after all. I think that I am too soon along on the journey and that I would get more benefit from it next year. Who thinks it is funny that one of the prizes is surgery?

I wanted to go and at the time didn't think I'd even have surgery yet. I tried to work it out but it would have cost me about $1,000 just in travel and hotel expenses and there is no one I can leave my 2yr old with. It's still fire season in October and my DH may or may not be home at any given time so I couldn't count that he'd be able to be with our DD. In fact we have a fire right now on the other side of the mountain from us (we're not in any danger) and he's on days off but we're expecting the phone to ring to call him back to work.

Anyway, yes, I really wanted to go! :wink_smile:

If you google 2008 lap band conference it will take you to coach cher's website (she is one of the people that have a pic and stories at the bottom of the home page of lapbandtalk) On her site it has all the information. Anyway, I am going alone, and hope to meet some of you there, there appears to be some great information and this is the first one.

      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.
