Young Post-Op Bandster



Recommended Posts

Hello,

My name is Heather today I am 15 days post op. I am looking for a lap band buddy. Someone who I can talk to about progress and get to know. Unfortunatly I dont have many people who know what i'm going through right now and a buddy would be great. I am looking for someone who

1) between age 20 - 25 (in college or just graduated)

2) banded in the past month or about to be banded in a few weeks

I want someone who I can talk to about lapband struggles, diet, and someone to get to know. If you are interested in a lapband buddy please let me know!

I may be out of the required criteria lol.

I'm 31 and banded a month ago. I know quite a bit due to crazy research so let me know if I can help.

From the UK.

      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.
