Revision process moving forward. Any 3 month diet tips?



Recommended Posts

Moving forward in the revision process. I will have my Lap-band removed Feb 5th. Unfortunately my surgeon will not do revision at the same time. I have to wait 3 months for my stomach to completely heal (according to their office). During that time I'll be on my 3 month medically monitored diet. Yesterday I met with the dr, the nutritionist, and had my psych evaluation done....and all was good. Now I have to get cleared from a cardiologist which they're scheduling, and have a pulmonary function test. Then once the medically supervised diet is 3 months in, they will submit it all to insurance and hopefully (fingers crossed), I'll be having my revision in June or July. At least I'm hopeful. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. For those who have done the 3 month monitored diet.....what helped you? What were your go to foods? I need all the help I can get right now!

When I revised I had about 2.5 months between removal of the band and the sleeve. i didn't need to do the medically supervised diet, but obviously I didn't want to gain! I had felt that the band was not working, but after removal, I was incredibly hungry 24/7. I don't know if that is a common occurance, but I would be prepared to meet with your NUT or some other knowledgable person if that happens. I wound up going low carb and did manage to maintain...

Yeah they had to take all the Fluid out of my band so right now I have 0 restriction so I already feel hungry all the time. I've gained about 15 lbs since they took the fluid out. But I met with a nutritionist yesterday and I meet with my GP next week for the medically supervised diet. I'm so nervous cause right now I feel like I cannot satisfy my hunger at all. But I've started making healthy substitutions which should help. Just need a little more control. But having to be accountable will be a huge help.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
