Hi There - first day as a member!!



Recommended Posts

Good morning! This is my first post. Although, I have just joined, I have been quite the voyer for the past year :rolleyes: All of your stories and advice has been a big help to me during this year of preparation for my surgery. I am not one for sharing but am making a big step to try and change that because I see how supportive you all are for each other. Being that my surgery is scheduled this Tuesday, I am very anxious and cant wait to see the progress that I have seen for so many of you on here. Look forward to chatting with you all and making a new lap band family :smile:

I am glad to see you are already here and finding this forum supportive. Good Luck and will be thinking about you. There is a thread on here for surgery stories where you can post your surgery info or you can start a new thread and post it if you want to.

      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.
