Free Lap Band Contest Finalist Voting!!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I already posted this in Introductions, I think, but I don't want to give up :( I am in a contest to win a free lap band surgery. I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Sydrome) and as many of you ladies may know, it is extremly hard to lose weight with that. My syndrome also prevents me from having children at this time, I break out alot and I grow hair in strange places lol. Not only that my weight has affected me in my career path as well. I am a musical theatre person and singing and acting are my life. But I am restricted in the roles that I auditon for as well as the roles that I recieve. I desperatly want to change that. I applied for a contest to get a free lap band and much to my surprise I became a finalist. But, now I need help :) I would appreciate if you all could take the time to vote for me! You can do this by going to http://www.obesitynomorefl.com/contest.php and click my name, Erica S to read more about me! I also made a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=en_1AFtrPqc&list=HL1365473846&feature=mh_lolz so that you all can learn more about me and hear from me personally! I made an event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/342059355893736/347717905327881/?comment_id=347922315307440&notif_t=event_mall_reply so that you can invite your family and friends to vote for me too. It will only take you 5 seconds to add at least 5 more years to my life <3 Thank you all SO very much! <3

      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.
