Los Angeles Bandster support group



Recommended Posts

I've seen a lot of threads that were started years ago, but I thought I'd see if anyone came onto this site a little late like I did and would be interested in some sort of support group.

I live in the Valley, but I don't think this group has to be that specific.

Let me know if there's any interest and we can pick a date and time to meet.

Sounds great! Let's wait a few more days to see if there's any more interest, but otherwise maybe we can make a plan for early August? I know the 1st is a Sunday, maybe we can make something work for that day.

Looking forward to it!

I think this would be a great idea. What stage of the journey are we all in. I am pre-op and am currently sitting in my last appt. Before my paperwork is sent off to the insurance company. I'm very nervous/excited.

I am very interested. I was banded on July 8th. I live in Northridge. Let me know if you settle on a day and time. I was banded at Cedars and the support groups are sometimes too hard to get to. Would love to find some closer by lap band buddies!

      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.
