Ready to re-start the process



Recommended Posts

So, after about six months of little or no progress, a flipped port, a port revision, and my first fill post-op, I am finally regaining some hope that I had lost! When I first had my Lap Band put in, I did very well and then it stalled and I haven't lost anything in months. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't following a strict diet and part of that was due to depression about the band not working, so I do admit my part in this. However, I got my fill today and am back on track! The doc even said that he would give me another 6 months of free fills since I am self pay since he said that it was his fault that I couldn't get the fills. I am very excited to get back on track and bring my blood pressure and sugar levels back down again! :o

I remember reading all your posts and then they stopped. I am glad you are back posting again and have a renewed sense of purpose. I am especially happy that your provider is giving you 6 months of fills. That is awesome. Congratulations on losing what weight you have, that is great considering all of your complications. I am looking forward to your posting regularly again.

Yeah, I pretty much gave up for a while and didn't want to be on here seeing how great other people were doing, although it might have kicked my butt into gear! I am happy that my attitude has changed and I am back on and ready to go!!

      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.
