Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, my third day on this liquid diet is going ok but I am so busy I'm missing my shake for lunch. Any one else having this problem? I'm taking dietary supplements twice a day.....

Today I'm going to a baby shower my family Bar B Q with all the trimmings I don't know how I'm getting through this day. To make it worse I have to pick up the cake that I order :angry: Only two members of my family knows I'm getting the Lap Band. How would I explain when they ask "'you're not eating what's wrong are you sick? Any advise will be helpful thank you.

I haven't told people either...saying:" I'm trying to stick to low carb diet" has worked for me.

I have my surgery on July 10th...I have 2 weeks preop diet but it is 2 shakes and 1 small meal a day. Everyone is right it is much easier during the work week. Today is particularly hard but I am holding on.

I've been catching up on all my sleep, cleaning, an HBO has a free preview this weekend. I've never looked forward to Monday so much! I'm going to go online and look at all the great clothes I can purchase when I finally start loosing the real weight! Maybe plan a vacation where I won't be more worried about what I'll wear than having fun! Got to keep busy !!!!

@@Ivowtodoit Did you have any trouble at the shower with people asking you what was up? How do you like the bariatric Adv shakes...I'm just about sick of them and having trouble getting them down! 6 days of chocolate shakes 4 x per day is not so much fun!

I was so busy making everyone's plates they didn't notice I wasn't eating. I am so tired of Protein Shakes too. Two banana shakes a day is enough for me. I take in other stuff such as broth Soup and sugar-free Jello. I wish I can eliminate the shakes all together.

I am about sick of Protein shakes too. I can eat a can of Progresso Light Soup once a day. I can't believe I get so excited for the soup. LOL I just keep thinking about my long term goal and feeling better. :)

Are you guys keeping it a secret that you are getting the band? At first I was skepitcal about letting people know that I was having it done. But then I thought what does it matter. People around me would know something was up, true I could say that I have been watching what I eat and going to the gym. But I believe this is a decision I made for my health and so what what if I had surgery to get it. How do you guys feel about it?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
