Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Need a single mom buddy



Recommended Posts

I am a 42 single mom. I teach in North Alabama. I have been overweight my whole life. At 266 I know I am pushing the envelope health wise, so LB is the way to go! I am more of a helper than a person who asks for help, so a buddy on here would be most appreciative.

Hi Nicole, I will definitly be your buddy, but I know we need someone else that has already been banded for a while to ask questions. I have went through many of the hoops as of right now. Just waiting on surgery date.

Hi Single mom, just jump right in to the "I'm here to help thread" Everyone is so good helping each other. Read the posts and ask away. We all love to have people join us. Janet started the thread and Apples is great but they all can help.

      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.
