Moreno Valley CA Support Group



Recommended Posts

My name is Desiree and I'm 3 years Post Op from the Lap Band Surgery. While the Lap Band was a positive thing for me, the weight loss is primarily due to exercise and careful dieting. I've been though a lot of diets and now knows what works for me!

I host a Lap Band Fitness Support Group every month in Moreno Valley for the Riverside County and Orange County areas. You're more than welcome to come and share and listen in. We had fun at our March session!

It's encouraging to meet and talk about our experiences and keeps us on track.

Contact me for info and I hope to meet you soon!

Thanks,

Desi

I am having lap band surg in two weeks and am feeling quite overwhelmed . . . I was hoping to talk with someone who had been through this already . . . I am 51 years old, the single mother of a 5 year old and I work full time as a Nurse Practitioner . . . I'm overwhelmed with life as it is but know I'd be so much better without this extre 100 pounds . . . I'm afraid I'll be sick or won't be able to keep up with the rigiorous demands required of the lapband program . . . where exactly are the support groups and/or is there anyone I could talk to ??? Thanks !

      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.
