Hi everyone pre-op SUCKS, my wife is keeping me on the straight and narrow. I am down one week i have two more to go. shakes are OK at home not so good on the road. best thing i can think of to do with them is coffee and sugar twin added kind of makes it taste like hot chocolate (shitty hot chocolate). I seem to be down 30 pounds so far and two more weeks to go i think i might make 40 pounds lost. I lost 20 before pre-op and 10 this past week. don't have much faith it will stay off can't live on Water and shakes forever. i saw on here that people gain a Little when people go back on solid foods. going to try Atkins diet plan after surgery. Atkins seems to work for me before surgery. Proteins first eh!! things are going not so bad can't wait for this journey to begin. now if i can get of my ass and get moving when i get off the road from trucking i think this is going to be great . My wife (canadiangirl) is doing great and looks good. we are trying to be supportive for each other. anyways good luck to all.....

my doc said i have to lose 20 pounds before i even could get surgery so i have been on a carnation breakfast shakes and salad for about 6 weeks even before i started my pre op diet.(i am alittle grouchy)
-
i am on a medi trim diet 2 shakes a day with a protein medi trim bar . 2 cups of salad and nothing over 5 calories. pickles are 5 calories or so. good and crunchy. they never said nothing about broth but some people are having it my wife did when she was on her pre op diet.
think i am going to try making a soup veggies in it tomatoes and cabbage onions carrots and see if that will help.
my work puts me on the road for two days on two days home so will be nice to have something warm to have.

Just about to start my journey and was wondering if there was truckers that have had lap band and lost weight. tuff to lose when you get little sleep and little walking and lots of sitting.

ya trucking is not easy but no other option for me. like most people change is not good. i know that the weight will come off its just that little sleep and not good food choices at the 7-11's or local mom and pop stores is going to be tough. i think i am going to try the Atkins diet it has been helping me lose weight before surgery for the doctors. everyone seems to say eat Protein first then the other stuff. here's a questions for someone, why is everyone not doing Atkins???? i know its not really a long term diet plan for some people but seems to be working for me so far. just a question for someone.... hey good luck with finding a job i know its not easy starting trucking or finding a job when your new to trucking. :confused::thumbup::thumbup:

Maples Surgical Center Wpg Mb.
Too Fat To Fish replied to Too Fat To Fish's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Call Jenn at maples at wpg. she is great and will answer anything you want. go to their web site. not much info there but OK to look at. Jenn said my surgery was going to be $ 16 800 tax in . I know its a lot of money but i am at my wits end. this winter was hard for me and my joints so been thinking of this for a year or so and said what the heck lets call maples. dragged my wife along to see what the place was like and she decided to go for it . she wanted me to go first but it turned out that i was too fat for fat surgery and had to lose 20 or so pounds before i could get surgery done. we are from Sask and it is along trip. my wife got a consultation done in March, surgery on may 12 TH and is now 30 pounds down. all we can say is go for it look at all the facts and read all the threads on lap band and realize that this is just a tool not a cure. good luck -
I am waiting to get banded (self pay) and my two doctors cant figure out a date to get it done.:thumbup: I think it may have something to do with golf. just kidding. I just want to start my journey already!
