Anyone With Lap Band In San Diego



Recommended Posts

So far I just have the forum for support! Its hard finding people from San Diego who are regulars on here. :( Its even a struggle to keep a workout buddy but I take support anywhere I can get it! ;)

I have been using this site as my main support!! Have you found anything??

I think the best way to start a local support group would be to just pick a day/time/location and start it up. One or two people would have to commit to being there each time to ensure continuity. Then put out the word and see if it grows.

Do somewhere like a Starbucks on a weekday evening at around 5 or 6 pm? We could just get together a chat. Or even Shakespeare Pub on India Street.

Are you all thinking about a weekly or monthly gathering?

Thoughts?

I think getting together would be AWESOME! Only problem will be picking a day and time that will work with most of us. I can not do evenings at all but could do a morning coffee around 10am someplace....anyone free about that time?

I can do Saturday or Sunday 10 AM, or could do a short coffee (like 30 minutes or so) at 10 AM Mon-Thurs in the Mira Mesa area. I work near Miramar. Mon-Fri 6:30am to 3pm, but cannot get out of the office on Fridays.

Shay, what time to you walk after work?

Hi all! My name is Chrissy and I am in the process of getting my medical clearance finished up (have already done my psych evaluation). So I don't have a surgery date yet but I am hoping to get one soon. I am in La Mesa, CA and I am looking for people close by to talk to online maybe even meet up with at some point for support. Even though I am a little nervous/scared about the surgery I am super excited because I feel I have let my weight hold me back for too long and I am so over it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
