Hellow Everyone.....



Recommended Posts

My name is Christy, I'm 37 yrs old and have decided to take the Lap Band journey. My insurance requires a 6 month wait....which, during that time I need to meet with my PCP once a month (for a total of 7 visits), I need to meet with a physical therapist 2 times, a nutritionist 2 times, a psychologist 1 time as well as go to group meetings.

I've met with my PCP 3 times now, I've met the nutritionist, physical therapist. I need to meet my psychiatrist....been putting that off as my ins wont cover that, which means I have to come up with $450.

I've been overweight my entire life, I'm sick of being fat and want to start "LIVING LIFE" and not watching from the sidelines.....

I've recently quit smoking (3 weeks ago yesterday) and have started walking daily....

I hope to meet some friends and learn some things I didn't know about the lap band.....

      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.
