Would Like A Local Buddy - Md



Recommended Posts

I posted in location specific forums as well but this seems to get more traffic.

I live in Hagerstown MD but pass through Frederick 2-3 times weekly, am in DC once weekly and Leesburg, VA 1-2 times per week.

Banded in March of 2009. Initially lost 100 pounds in year one. Dropped 350 to 250. Then dropped another 40 in year two to 210. Back up to 240 at this point. Fill is not a useful tool for me at this time. It would take me to liquid breakfasts and trouble with Proteins and veggies, which defeats the purpose.

I need a friend (definite preference on LOCAL) that is interested in chatting via email, possiblity meeting up from time to time, and/or working out. I'm pretty flexible on all of this, but would like to get back on track with someone that is in a similar situation or has recently been banded, as either of these would be motivation for me, and I would like to help motivate right back.

I have started back out on a workout regimine that includes walking/running (doing couch to 5k) as well as cardio and weights in gym. Current exercise rate of 4-5 times weekly for 30-45 minutes each time. Would like to up this once I am ready physically.

      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.
