Band Buddy:)



Recommended Posts

Let me start off by saying I do not have the best support system at all. I had some complications with eating from my band and felt like I was having a heart attack each time I swallowed any food. I went through that for about 6 months all the while I kept getting readjusted. My family could be so much more supportive if they weren't so busy talking crap and putting me down every chance they get. So, anyone who's willing to help me go along and start from the basics again to get to where I need to be, will be gladly appreciated. :) I've had my band for about a year now and have lost about 50 pounds, but I still have quite a few more pounds to go to reach my goal weight. Looking forward to hearing from anyone! :)

Sorry to hear that. I really believe that my support friends have helped me keep on track. I attend atleast 2 of the 4 weekly Monday night meetings and also meet with my emotional eating group once a month even though our 6 week course ended last April. Support is huge, I am here for you. Message me anytime!

PS.....let's see them try and lose 10 pounds let alone 50!

      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.
