February '09 bandsters?



Recommended Posts

It's fairly certain that I'll be having the surgery in the beginning of February, any one else out there making the biggest change in the shortest month?

I am seriously thinking about having lap band surgery this year (hopefully Mar/Apr 09. I have been to the free seminar but that is about it so far except a lot of internet research. I have heard more positive then negative regarding the band. Good luck on your surgery in Feb. :tongue2:

I'm done with all my testing and should hear something back from my Insurance this week hopefully (Tricare) So they are saying I should be ready the first or second week of Feb to have my surgery! I HOPE SO!! I'm so ready to get started and become healthier and actually be able to enjoy doing things with my children this summer!!

      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?

      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.
