Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I'm failing - need help in Montana



Recommended Posts

I had surgery late February 2010 and by June had lost about 30 pounds. Goal was 65. Didn't lose anything from June to date and have gained 5 pounds. I'm eating junk food and not exercizing. The band does help with Portion Control but not the willpower to quit the junk and exercize. I wish there was a support group in Helena Montana. If anyone can help me get back on track and lend their support I sure would appreciate it.

SO I HEAR YOU ARE FALLING AND YOU CAN'T GET UP!!!!! :thumbup: I SURE DON'T KNOW MUCH, BUT WE CAN LEARN TOGETHER. I AM IN CANADA AND WAS BANDED IN SEPT29/10, I'M NOT DOING GREAT EITHER, BUT I HAVE NOT HAD A FILL YET EITHER. I GO TO MICHIGAN TO SEE THE DR. ON NOV 22/10. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE RESTRICTION SO I CAN'T EAT AS MUCH. TRUST ME, I HAVE VERY LITTLE WILL POWER PLUS I AM HANDICAPPED. I WISH I COULD PUT ON MY HEADPHONES AND GO FOR A WALK.

      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.
