The Holidays on Lapband



Recommended Posts

I feel sooooo virtuous...Thanksgiving and I didn't overeat...and I didn't even have room for any pie...wow

For the first time the holiday was about the spirit of the celebration and not the consumption of large quantities of food.< /p>

Now, comes the hard part...Christmas treats in the teacher's lounge at work. It's soo easy to take a taste of this, a bite of that, one little cookie, ect. until you realize you've eaten the day away a little at a time...

How are others going to tackle the Christmas "Cheer"?:blush:

I am going to tackle it one day at a time. And persevere through the holidays. It is rough, but I am committed to a healthier me. :-)

I had a fill two days before Thanksgiving, and by the time dinner rolled around, my stomach was swollen and I could hardly eat anything, actually, it was great!!! If you think you are ready for a fill, definately do it before your holiday celebrations if you can, it might help keep you on track.

      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.
