People Looking For Mentors.



Recommended Posts

Please keep in mind, we are not getting paid from anyone to help. I've posted countless times offering my help, many have responded, but seems they have vanished again or have given up on my help. So I think it's time I stop offering help, can't keep wasting my time.

I'm more then happy to help anyone, but seems I get some real winners. .. one had surgery, never told husband, and then was getting surgery to remove flab, how the hell are you going to explain that? Another doesn't want to talk about band or eating habits, people, what do you want me or anyone offering help to do? I can't come hold your hand, cook for you, adjust band,be a mentor with benefits, etc. This is getting really silly.

Is there a forum/section on this site for mentor help? Is a mentor someone who has already reached goal?

Maybe now is a great tome for us to start a forum with some ground rules or guidelines? I for one would live a mentor as I go through my journey. Oh and I am "normal"...ha ha ha...

God Bless You! Julie

Thanks that would be great! 160 lbs. Are you still losing? Or maintaining or both? Any complications that go with the territory?

God Bless You! Julie

I am looking for a mentor. I was banded a year ago and lost about 50 lbs and stopped. I'm ready to work hard and get this weight off. Feel free to email me justneufeld@gmail.com

Maybe it is finding a mentor / mentee with the right fit.

I would love help but I would need a mentor that includes regular exercise. Also, I am not at my best under 1200 calories a day so if someone were to say that I need to consume less I would say that that wasn't an option. I would rather spend two hours in the gym than cut my calories lower than 1200. Now, you want to talk about better options for those calories then that is great.

See, just from reading I know there are many people on here that would not be the right fit.

      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.
