I Need Some Encouragment During My Pre-Op Diet
Truckerchic replied to Porchue08's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup first 3 days are the hardest and by your last 3 you will be lucky if you get 3 shakes a day in lol I was not hungry at all my second week and I lost 15 lbs which was nice! I was so excited to do my pre op because I knew the big day was near finally, that kept me motivated. -
Protein shakes and vitamins
stacielynntate replied to jennibaby's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Of all the protein I tried from Pure Protein, Premier Protein, EAS, Isopure my favorite is Unjury chocolate splendor powder. You can go on Unjury website and order a sample/starter pack and they will send you 2 envelopes of 5 flavors to try. The premade shakes after surgery are now way to sweet for me. For vitamins I use trader joes chewable multi and get a chewable calcium from celebrate vitamins. Celebrate vitamins has a sample pack you can get for $3 bucks as well and the. If you rider you get a $3 credit in your first order. -
It sounds like you never got out of old habits. When I start to over eat or go straight for the suger I stop and make myself think about the day I had surgery and the weeks of recovering, I tell myself "who in thier right mind would go through all of that and then go back to the same old habits" You really need to detox yourself like Kris suggested, go back on the 2 week liquid diet and start again. For sure go back to your Dr. Face up to everything and then put it behind you. There is noting you can do about it now. You're not a failure, you're human. hang in there

Wow, welcome to all the newbies....that is great to see so many people interested in being banded and the new ones that have been banded, recently.... I was banded on 4/6/07....I was required to go on liquid diet two weeks pre-op and then two weeks post -op....I have lost a total of 27 lbs..I will have my first fill on 5/17/07.... My surgery was a self-pay...15,000.00 but worth every penny...I had my surgery done at a surgery center here in my hometown...I was taken back for surgery around 9:00 and was home by 11:30..so 2 1/2 hours total....I did just fine...little soreness, but nothing major...I also had a hernia repaired at the same time I was lapbanded....I am so glad I had this surgery done...I couldn't be happier...I have been a bit anxious at times, only because I am so afraid I will do something wrong...I eat what I am told to eat, and I don't eat, what I have been told not to eat!!! I follow the diet to the letter....after paying 15,000.00 out of my pocket, you can bet I will do everything possible to be a success....

I had surgery on 6/28 and we went on a week long trip to Florida on 7/23. It was wonderful!!! It's the only vacation I have ever taken where I didn't gain weight!!! I enjoyed very small portions and loved every minute of it. Good luck to you!!! myanniversaryband.blogspot.com -
Today I am 11 days post up, i decided to go back to the gym today and do some light work out and gradually work my way up. It felt really good and I hope to work out at least 5 times a week.

This is taking SO LONG!
hannahj914 replied to phthaloblue's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hey how are you i know how you feel with this process it has been a hard one for me also since i am part of a study and i was also 17 ...there was back and forth to the doctors office for a year i started in jan 08 they said i had to start a six month diet also with that i thought taking blood and doing all theses other things i would be able to get my lap band after six months. When the six months where over my doctor said oh you need a sleep study and after that oh you this oh you need that after all of that i finally got my day (apr 15) after a yr and 4 mons my insurance approved it with in two weeks because i had everything at once so with that i know how you feel and it can be hard sometime but just keep hope alive -
I haven't had my surgery yet, I am still doing my pre-op diet, its been 2 months now (my surgery has been postponed a few times >.<). On Monday of last week I was 307 and since that day my weight goes up to 309.36, and then down to 306.99. I'll go down 1 pound one day, up 1 pound the next day, or go up and up for a few days and then down, and then up again! (I did have my period until Wednesday). It is so frustrating, I did exercise only twice last week because I wasn't feeling well, the days I didn't exercise I would eat less calories, I have not stopped tracking what I eat in myfitnesspal. I know in my head that to go up I would need to consume 3500 over what I eat, and it takes me 4 days to eat 3500 calories anyway! Is this normal? A stall?

Hair loss following surgery
saj54539@yahoo.com replied to saj54539@yahoo.com's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you for your insight. I don't know if they put me on xeral but I do know they had me on blood thinners during and after my surgery for three weeks. I am faithful taking my Protein and Vitamins plus Vitamin E that may help according to my beautician. Thank you again. Sandy -
Hello All, I need a little encouragement. I have recently decided to postpone my surgery due to some pretty serious personal problems (separating from my husband and relocating with my lil one). I was planning to have the operation in December during the holidays because that's when I would have the time off from work, and I was 6lbs within reach of my pre-surgery weight. Well, it looks like the next time I'll be able to take 4 weeks off (My doctor recommends taking off a month) will be end of June. Since making all these decisions I've been really down and eating like crazy!! June is so far away! I'm an emotional eater and I'm trying not to be. But honestly, with the major transitions in my personal life I'm struggling and I've been eating everything under the sun! I'm scared I'm on a downward spiral to completely diving in to a bucket of ice cream and fried chicken! Any encouragement you can offer would be nice and is very welcome! Thx community!

This is normal. I have a 5 year old daughter, single mom. I will be sleeve in May and kinda have this thought at least once a week. I've done the if I'm gone letter, the will, and custody if I die (bc I want my father to have custody instead of her horrible father). This is normal, and I talk myself out of the death scares lol. Just imagine the beautiful life your going to have with your children, and how not only you but your whole family will benefit from this change.

Yes! I just started the last couple of weeks making it a regular thing, but its so hard for me to get motivated to go by myself! My sister usually goes with me since my husband works nights and I work days so we never see each other much. But this week my sister is out of town so I am accountable for myself and I have dropped the ball haha. Going to make myself go tonight because I know how important it is! I want to lose at least 14 more pounds by my anniversary trip in April so I gotta kick my butt in gear!

I started cize 6 week training. It's everyday for six weeks. I don't think I can hang everyday. I also have a bow flex and try to get some strength training every other day. I'm just so exhausted after work lately that I really haven't been consistent.

United Healthcare?
lsmith715 replied to sassyfrass23's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was just approved last week and have United Healthcare. I did the 6 month supervised diet but was far away enough away from the bmi limit not to have to worry about it. But honestly if you are below the bmi and have no comorbidity that might be an issue. My Dr had.to fill out a form with my weights and what was discussed at each visit. I also had to provide the past 5 years of medical weigh ins. I'm scheduled for 11/17 and can not wait. It was a long and hard wait. Good luck!!!!! -
I plan to find an unflavored I can handle, I haven't start trying them yet but will once I get a surgery date. I think those sweet pre-made shakes would get old really fast and getting enough protein from your food would be hard the first few weeks or months because the sleeve can only hold so much. People mix unflavored with jello and pudding mixes, water with flavoring like Crystal Light, even things like Cream of Wheat and soups. You can puree the soup and put it in that (just watch the temp, if you mix it with something too hot it will clump)
