Recommended Posts

Hi all

Im going to be banded on the 9th of November and I am very very excited!!!!!! I have been waiting a long long time for this and thinking about it for years. Looking into all the pro's and con's but I think for me the hardest part will be this pre-op shake diet BLAAHHHHHHH.....I hate it.....but I have the big picture in mind and It's only 2 weeks out of my life. Funny the pre-diet has been my dread from the begining. There is something about powdered milk shakes that is just not nice at all :)

Does anyone else have a blog? If so, let's see it! Let's follow each other and be motivators!

Great Idea!:scared2:

I have just started a blog site at: My Lap Band Journey - Home

Not much info on there as yet as I have only just started it, bhave found it helps to keep me motivated to talk about whats happening. I really need t try to keep motivated during this awful pre-op stage as I am finding it really hard.

Look forward to the new group of November lap banders :(

Hi everyone,

I am to be banded on Nov. 9 and can't wait. I'm going for my pre-op class on Thurs., 10/29 and will get my final instructions. This has gone pretty quickly for me (about 2 months). I'm very hopeful but nervous. Good luck to all my fellow November bandsters.

      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.
