Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I am new to this but here I go.

I am finished with all my test and will have my

surgery on nov 3. I am excited but also nervous. It took me a year to make this decision, last xmas eve I was at the table with

my family and extended family and made the decision, just like that and I never looked back. So here I am 38 days to go and I can't believe it went so fast.:thumbup:

Hi and welcome to LBT! My band date is October 27th and I am getting really excited. I didn't even know about weight loss surgery until 2 years ago and I made up my mind then, but at that time our insurance didn't cover it. SO ~ as of April of 2007 they started to cover gastric banding and here I am! I am looking forward to starting a new life!

Good Luck on your journey!! :thumbup:

Hi everyone,

i was banded sept 4,08 and have no regrets. It was the best thing i ever could have done for myself. As a single mother for so many years, i neglected my needs. Put my kids first. Always my kids first. No regrets for that either because they are both grown and doing very well. I've lost 17 lbs and my clothes are getting loose and the confidence is starting to go through the roof. Yoohoo!!!!!! Good luck all

      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.
