Hey there, my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 15th.. Im on this liquid diet as well are you getting crazy headaches?

Are you nervous and up all night googling lap band topics like me :)

anni, I think that is the only thing getting me by. I can look at others results and it gives me confidence to go on. Otherwise, I would have called it off by now.:thumbup:

Hey Cortney,

I am 6 days out tonight and I just don't feel that great. I just don't know how much gas one person can possibly keep hanging on too! Its miserable, I didn't drink or eat as much today cuz I just feel like crap!

I know without a doubt this was the right choice for me but its easy to lose site of that when you feel blah!

I am doing all of the same things as you, heating pad, gas X, walking, pain meds. I am suppose to go back to work tomorrow night(night shift)-will have to play that by ear as the day progresses.

I hope you are doing better and all of our fellow Sept 1 bandsters are in recovery mode!

Thinking Thin......!!

Kim

good morning,

I was also banded 9/1/09 and it has been ok.. for the most part.. I also work night shifts, but will not start back on those till next week sometime. I do go back to days on Thurs. I have to be cleared by our OCC. health and was placed on 10lb weight restriction till the middle of next week. So, my supervisor put me on her version of admin. duty ( basicly doing some of her paperwork).

I am trying to figure out, hunger versus generalized rumbling....

also I did learn the hard way, if it says decaff, use only decaff.. I got sick on sat. did not leave the house at all. I had a recipie mix for my Protein Shakes and used the wrng coffee.. :mad:

I am growning tired of the shakes, but i have not had to repeat the same one two times in a row.. i am ready to chew something of substance..

well, tell me how you are doing

take care

Hi all, not sure where to post, newbie here.

Any of you heard about Dr. Alverez in Mexico and the hospital he works from? I hear nothing but good things. Considering him soon.

My surgery date is 9/17 and I start my 7 day liquid diet on Thursday. My surgeon requires 7 days sans solids and <20gm Protein daily. I'm not looking forward to a week of tasteless sugar-free food, but I AM looking forward to wearing a swimsuit next summer! Wish all ya'll the best of luck!

Welcome to newbies and good luck to everyone having surgery today. Well found out today through Employee Health that i can't go back to work yet with the restrictions the doctor gave me, so thank god for STD. Contacted Aetna (my STD carrier) and filed a claim, hopefully it won't take long to recieve my benefits. Go back to my Dr on the 21 rst. Hoping He will lift his restrictions and I can go back to work on the 24th, If not hopefully I can go back on 10/2/09. I'm a nurse and on a occasion we have to lift patients in bed or turn them, so even though I would have alot of help, they wouldn't risk it and I don't blame them. Well hope everyone has a great day.:mad:

      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.
