Hey everyone, looking for a buddy who is around my age. I'm 26 and will be 27 in October.

Just got banded and I don't mind if you are a new bandster or not, just want someone who I can email on a regular basis who understands some of this because no one in my life has any understanding of what I'm going through.

You can feel free to message me... both of you. I don't really have anyone to talk to other than my boyfriend, and I'm sure I'm driving him crazy with my emotions

Hey everyone! I would love to have any buddies! I was banded 3/15, and have had a few minor problems, like over fill, being completely unfilled, being refilled, having to have another (slight) unfill. But all in all, it's going great!

Hey, 27 yr old almost 28. Haven't been banded yet but I'm on my way. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Going through my insurance required 6 month physician supervised diet right now. I check in to this site frequently and have Facebook so new friends are welcome.

I am an old woman of 34....LOL and have been banded since March 2009....but I am more than happy to be a buddy and help out anyone who needs it! I have some friends that recently had surgery and it helped them to be able to bounce things off of me....to make sure they were feeling "normal" things.

Good luck to all of you!!!

If any of you want to email me that haven't already, or if you have and we lost touch, please PM me and I will give you my email or you can give me yours. Send me your first name so I know who you are if we already have met, and we can be buddies because I totally need all the support I can get.

Blessings to all!

      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.
