Surgery Nov. 12th I'm nervous
TheDude84023 replied to Glockoma813's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess I'm getting it easy . I only have to stay below 860 cals but the only "staple" requirement is the Protein shake in the a.m. My pre op officially started yesterday but I dropped my intake to 900 cals when I was told about the pre op diet by my dr. I may voluntarily do liquids my last week to make things easier on the doc come surgery day on the 12th. Good luck glock. You'll be on the surgens table in no time ???? -
Food Cost savings after banding

Just curious how much do you spend on food post surgery? I imagine the cost savings would be significant but just curious on what you spend now -

Yea lissa sounds like some sabatoging going on : / Just remember you are stronger than that and you are going to do great regardless of their antics -
Not bad on this end sticking to it pretty well. Though today I've cut a few trees out they fell on the road and tilled the garden so I am feeling a bit hungry but I'm pushing through. Need more Water I suppose haha

November 2014 Lap Ban Surgery ????
TheDude84023 replied to Ldimples's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Good now I don't feel nearly as bad for the fact that everyone at work thinks i'm having an appendix removed and outside of that only my girlfriend knows. I just didn't want to deal with all the questioning and this is also a busier time of the year for my fam so I don't want to burden them with worrying during the surgery. -
It was not required for me since I had a BMI over 40 but if I had a 35-40 I would likely have to have it because you have to have 2 comorbidities for approval in that range
-
This is what I was told by my drs office My understanding is you don't drink with meals with the band because it will either wash the food through your stomach pouch defeating the purpose of the band, our it will glaze the food and make you vomit.

Starting my pre-pre op diet tomorrow morning. Only 19 days to go.

November 12 for me. im not on a liquid diet(except for protein shakes for breakfast) for pre op but I plan on busting out my juicer for the last 9 days. I'd like to lose whatever I can to make the surgery that much easier for the doc
