Recommended Posts

See so many new postings going up looking for mentors and support from all over states. I live in New York, and border Connecticut. If anyone from either one are seeking a mentor, I'm always here to help out. Goes the same for anyone from any state. I've helped a few people so far, from all over.. please don't limit yourselves. My name is Steve, I only bite upon requests :-P feel free to pick my two functional brain cells remaining ,they enjoy the stimulus. ..

Would love u to be my mentor Steve. I live in Australia , when I got my band done there was no support, u were expected to work it out on your own. Operation done, now go off and sort yourself out. It's taken me about a year and a half to work out exactly how the band works. I lost weight then tried to be smart and went too tight and ending up just eating chocolate and Protein Drinks and of course put a lot of weight back on. I was so under nourished. Had no energy, now I think I'm back on track and can eat small pieces of meat, but still fighting that sugar addiction. So hard, and trying to give up smoking which makes me want more sugar!!!! Would love some positive advice.

G'day Tina...

Thought I'd give my Aussie accent a whirl. ..lol. ..so let's see... when did you have it done? My personal opinion, why would you put a tool into somebody and not tell them how to use it? May as well given a loaded gun to a kid and said here play with this. o_O. Well I can tell you from personal experience, can't quit smoking and diet at same time. One the withdrawal will make you attack sugar more, hence no loss. And the stress will make your cravings worse.. do you know the amount of c.c.' s band holds, and amount in presently?

      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.
