Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Looking for a mentor!!!!!

[sweeteebls 0]

Hello!

I am a 31yo female being banded on this Friday, 4/2 and am very nervous and excited about this journey. I would like to find a mentor, preferably in Texas in case I have a breakdown in my mental capacities and have to meet with you (Ha Ha:drool:), to help me as I mosey on down this road. If you're interested in being a mentor for me, I would be most appreciative. Thanks!

Hi Sweetie!

How are you doing? Did your surgery go well? I am not mentor material yet, I am due to be banded on Friday, April 9th., but I do live in Texas and I am here to listen and encourage.

Hi sweetie,

I am from texas (ya who) and I was banded on march 16. I am feeling GREAT! I'm losing weight pretty steady. went to see the surgeon form 2 weeks post op check. Lost 4 lbs before and 16 lbs after the surgery. :wub: He told me to go ahead and try to start eating solids. But I tried and got stuck. Getting stuck is not comfortable, but it passes. All I can say is I am excited about my progress. Don't know if you could call me a mentor, but I can say it's the best thing I ever did for myself. Hope your surgery went well. The gas problem is a little rough, but do sip your Water as they tell you, and follow instructions on your liquid diet. Not to tell you what to do, but in a week and a half I ate soft mashed potatoes and soft cooked veggies. Just chew the veggies well.

I would love to keep in touch, so let me know how your doing.:bored:
