Hoping To Make A Lap Band Buddy!



Recommended Posts

I schedule my official surgery date this Wednesday and cannot wait! Hoping I can make a friend around my age (22) who will also be banded soon...everyone who I've told about my surgery for the most part is supportive, but I was hoping to find someone who actually understands what I will be going through.. I'm from Louisiana (Baton Rouge area) but it doesn't really matter to me where you're from... =)

Hey there MrsMyers! I was banded on12/14 so it sounds like I am a bit ahead of you but I still have a million questions and thoughts that pop up! Im not quite 22 (32) but would be glad to vent to you and vice versa along the way! Good luck!

MrsMyers,

Welcole to LBT..I would love to be a lapband buddy..I've been banded for 3 yrs.. Just this last yr i went on a gaining spree and now i got to get what i gained back off.. I have a LapBand group on Facebook that has 117 people in it and some are veterans from here.. It has an active forum so you can ask any questions you want and get a good educated answer.. If you would like to join or have any questions just PM me anytime..I just don't say i've really gained in there because it's a little embarrassing...LOL

Just seen your from Lousianna....Gotta say it:::::ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!

      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.
