I Am Looking For A Mentor/buddy. (Struggling A Bit)



Recommended Posts

Hello. I am a 35 year old woman. I am a stay at home mom. I have a 7 and a 4 year old, (and a 42 year old).When I started my pre-op diet I weighed 234 lbs. I had my surgery on the 17th of Feb. I got my first fill on March 27, and I am struggling. I have been fluckuating between losing 21 and 24 lbs. for about a month now. I work out 5 days a week for 1-2 hours a day. I eat right, and I just don't get what is going on. I just need someone to talk to, or some advice or something. It is just really frustrating losing and gaining the same lb. or 2 over and over again. Please help. I am a very down to earth open minded person. If you would like to be my mentor/buddy, I am here. And would love to talk. Have a great day!

Hi, I would love to be a buddy too! i had my band on 12/21 and struggling a bit too. I don't have barely any restriction and I had two fills so far, next one isn't till 5/8. I eat right most of the time but can eat too much. I have 3 teenagers and find very little time to exercise after getting home from work and running them around to sports and such. I have lost about 33 pounds so far but the last two months only about 3-5 pounds per month. Message me if you need to talk! Good luck.

      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.
