Michigan Guy Willing To Mentor.



Recommended Posts

I'm 34 in Michigan...and have been wildly successful with my lapband. My goal was about 100lb loss...I'm close to that goal in one year. I went from lazy overweight guy to a gym rat, running 5ks almost weekly and currently training for a half marathon in the fall. I believe I fully understand the band and I'm a good tough motivator. I recently decided it was time to give back to the site that made me feel good when I was scared in the beginning. Must be serious about improving your life!

I would be delighted if you could take me on. I really need a mentor. I hope you can help me. I want to change but I need help. Thanks

Hello Brian, I was happy to read your post. I am looking for a mentor outside the clinical setting. I have tried traditional support groups and found I left them more discouraged than when I came. My experience with the Lap Band thus far is either vomiting everything I eat or not feeling any difference than before surgery. I am looking for someone who can direct me, from experience, to know when I am feeling how the band was intended and to help me create a plan that works for me and not the cookie cutter plans I have been given so far. I am ready and willing to do my part, I just need to get a little experienced advice and hone my tools. If you think this is something you can help with I would love to hear from you.

      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.
