Lap Band Buddy Under 40



Recommended Posts

I am 34. I've had my band for 3 years. I'm still figuring it out on most days. I've lost 75 lbs total and have about 45 left to lose. I just joined the forum for some extra support and motivation.

I used to feel the same I can't relate to most people on wls site because besides been much older they have a lot of diseases and have much more weight to lose, I'm 34 I was banded 8/6/14 Pre op weight 194 I have only lose 11lbs since then, my second fill will be 10/23 I'm still super hungry can't wait to reach my green zone... I have not experienced any pain when it comes to food I can eat almost everything although I'm trying to make smart choices of course to lose but its really hard I wish I would've done the sleeve instead anyway good luck everyone:)

      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.
