Hello everyone,

My name is Jody and I live in Burns, OR. After reading all of your wonderful posts, I decided it was time for me to say hi. I've just finished all my pre-surgery stuff and finally have a date...it's Feb 11th. I am so excited. My husband and I are having the lap-band done together. That way we can be on the same level of eating after the surgery and support each other too. I look forward to any tips you can give me, especially after the surgery. The meal plan afterwards looks like is going to be rough. But we are ready to make a change and do the work.

talk to you soon,

Jody

Hi there, Jody. Welcome to LBT! Is your husband going to join as well? I think it is wonderful that you two are going to go through the process together. You will be a great support to one another.

We look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi Jody,

I did my pre-op's yesterday. My surgery is scheduled for dec. 23rd. Which means that I should be coming home on X-mas eve morning. I'm glad that you & your husband are having this done together. My husband is eating & I am starving.... LOL. I wish you both the very best!

      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.
