So Happy To Find This Group



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Tiffanie. I have been banded since February 9, 2012. I have been pretty much trying to figure out all the steps needed to be successful on my own. My Lapband center only has a once a month support group and it's over by the time I get off work. So excited to find this group and look forward to chatting with you all.

Welcome, Tiffanie! You ar so right, I depend on this group for support. My center has its meetings at night, 1 hour away from me. I have never made the trip. I have 2 adult children who have lapbands, too. I have thier support and my husbands. I can call on surgeon's ofc whenever I need them. Good luck, and stay in touch. Karen

Hi Tiffanie,

I've been banded for six years, but for various reasons, left it unfilled until January this year. I find I'm having to relearn everything! There's so much I don't remember and I've had a lot of questions. I read a couple books to remind myself, but I'd still like to have someone around to ask questions sometimes.

I looked on Obesity Help and all they do is trash the band. Someone referred to this site in a reply, and I hopped over. I'm hoping to get some actual support here.

      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?

      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.
