Looking For A Buddy In Houston, Or Long Distance. Have Mfp!



Recommended Posts

Hello! Well I'm getting banded on August 2nd and starting my pre-op diet officially this coming Thursday. I'd love to meet someone who's getting banded around the same time, but any buddy who is going through what I'm going through would be super. I have never been good at exercising but I am determined to make it happen every single day starting Thursday, and I would love to find an active buddy who's willing to encourage (or outright nag at me) when I try to slack off. I would love to return the favor! :lol: I am SO motivated now, but I know it will be a lot harder post-op when I'm in pain... I am on Myfitnesspal and my game plan is to input -everything- into it. Every scrap of food, every minute of exercise. Let me know if you're interested, thanks!!

Kittyforet,

I am in Texas City. I saw on this forum about a month ago someone was trying to get together a local support group for our side of town. But nothing has come of it.

      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.
