Lap Band Newbie And Looking For Some November Bandsters To Keep In Touch With.



Recommended Posts

I am new here as well lookin for banded friwnds! I was banded on 11/10/11! About the Protein shake I caught a sale at publix for EAS advantEDGE, 17g protien 3 g carbs. I think they are reasonable in the taste department, not like milk and Cookies but I drink them everyday for Breakfast...And I must add I am REAAALLLLLYYYY picky when it comes to taste...I tried whey Protein shakes but the only way I can stomach it is in coffee and add extra cream then CHUG! Hope this helps! Feel free to message me, or add however this thing works! I would love to have banded friends!

Stacey Diederich-Speager started a PRIVATE Facebook page for people banded in November. Send her a friend request and let her know you were banded in November and she will add you. It has been very helpful to us all. We are all going through pretty much the same things, pretty close to the same stages & it's so nice to talk to others going through the same things, so you don't feel so crazy! It's been an awesome tool for my journey. If you choose not to join this FB page, feel free to message me anytime.

I was banded Nov. 3 and had my first fill today. I really have not had any problems, other than feeling increasingly hungry before my fill today. I am excited about this new life I am beginning and feel this is one of the best decisions I have ever made!

You are my band twin! I am getting banded on 12/12. If you interested in joining our December secret Facebook group in box me. It would be nice to have someone who will share my Band-day & journey with :)

Hi I am going to be banded on 12/12/11. I'm doing the liver cleanse now. Just trying to learn everything I can about the surgery, recipes, Protein shakes and any advice I can get. I am anxious and nervous about it. I just watched a lap band surgery online. I have read lots of messages from other banded members. I am 61 years old and weighed 285 six months ago, my highest adult weight. I weigh 268 now. My goal is 160 since I am 5'8" tall. My insurance company has approved the surgery. I have severe sleep apnea and use a c-pap machine for the past 4 months. I haven't slept good for years because of the gasping and snoring. My husband gets a good night's sleep nowadays too.

If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear about them. I also would like to keep in touch.

Good Luck on your journey.

I was banded 11-10-11 and had my first fill this past week! I'm feeling great and just trying to figure out what I can and cannot eat!! It's weird to be learning to eat all over again! I can really tell a difference after the fill too!

I'm new to this so I'm not exactly sure how this works lol My name is Carson and I was banded 12-6-11! I've got to say the first few days were horrible!! This website has been REALLY encouraging though and it has gotten a million times easier over the last several days! Anytime i start to get a little discouraged i come to this website and it always helps boost my motivation!! I'd love to have someone to chat with who is going through the same thing I am!! My family is very supportive but no one can truely understand what we go through except us! lol Feel free to message me or whatever it is you are supposed to do on here! =)

Good luck to everyone!!

      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.
