Looking For Lap Band Mentor And Buddy Bloggers



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am 27 and from north Jersey. I am looking for a few things, I guess. I'd like a mentor, a buddy and some cyber support. I am a no BS kind of person so that more abrasive you are the better. I'd like someone to kick my ass if I'm slacking and I'll do the same to you.

If you are close we can meet up, or we can exchange numbers so that we can speak and text.

I am looking for fellow bandsters that would like to cooperatively blog about the journey and offer support to each other. I am being banded on December 7th, 2011. I would like to pair up with someone that is being banded around that time as well.

I am starting my preop diet on November 23rd and will start the blog at that point. I need help being accountable, so this will help me make it a habit.

Let me know if you are interested. Thanks

      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.
