Thattanagirl 3 Posted May 12, 2013 I'd like to meet a guy who is going through or has went through the Lapband. It would be nice to have someone who understands what I'm going through and motivate me. I just want someone at the end of the day I can call and talk to about my day and my worries and my diet and it won't bore him. It'd be nice to find someone banded in my area but I there isn't even anyone my age in my support groups. So long distance wouldn't bother me. I live in TN. Born and raised here, open for moving. So if something did evolve I could see a move happening. I'm going to be 27 in September. My Lapband is still in the approval stages with insurance. Just doing all the required stuff at this point. If any man banders are looking for a lady to take this journey with message me or post back lets get healthy!! 1 AmineR8705 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thattanagirl 3 Posted May 12, 2013 I know exactly how you feel. I can't wait! I'm just adjusting this diet and tweaking it to fit. I've been using Instagram to connect and get healthy recipes and opinions on what's good Protein wise. It's nice having these support groups. Sometimes it feels like no one around really understands. My family especially. They are all a bunch of skinnies and they eat horrible stuff. My momma is the carb queen of the south. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AmineR8705 140 Posted May 12, 2013 Yeah I have been on past diets for the past 6+ years and have lost weight and kept it off but then I would fall right off the horse and get right back up and do it again. Yeah the support groups I have been to in the past have really been awesome and the people in the group are about 5-10 years older than me but hearing there experiences was really awesome. I really had to pound alot of info into my family's head and alot of my friends so they could understand why I'm doing this and hows it going to benefit me in the future!
