Dec. 2nd Support Group



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone from N.M. Sorry I havent posted latley, but been so busy with the holidays. Happy New Year to everyone. Let this be the year that we make really positive changes in ourselves!

The phone number for El Camino Imaging center is 505-998-1317. They are contracted with my doctor in Texas for fills. Weather they will do one for other patients, I dont know.

I had my first fill on Dec. 5, but didnt feel any more restriction at all, so I guess I need another. Hope everyone can make it to our meeting on the 6th of Jan.

Happy New Year everybody!!! And may your new year wishes all come true! Just wanted to remind everyone of our lapband support group in Albuquerque meeting next Saturday, January 13. Please email me if you need directions. Is anyone going to the ObesityHelp conference in Tuscon this weekend? I'd sure like to meet you, maybe even share a motel room and save some money. Feel free to email me at carrolina@aol.com . Hope to see you soon!

I will try to make the get together at star bucks in March. That sounds good to me. We really need to get this group going, because I know we all need support, and to talk with people that can understand the band!

Hi to you New Mexico lap banders.,

Does anyone plan to go to Starbucks on Saturday March 3? If anyone is planning on going, please let me know. Catalina left me a message that she will be out of town, but she wanted us all to try and still meet. I know she had planned to meet oat 10 a.m., but we can change that. Please let me know. We can meet in the afternoon if that will be better. It would be at the starbucks in Rio Rancho on 528, across from Intel.

Thanks,

Nanette

As it sits right now Nanette, the roads between here and there are snow packed in Cuba, with travel discouraged...so will have to wait and see closer to Saturday itself. Coming in from Farmington---late morning or early afternoon would work best---but since I cannot even commit---if I can make it, I will make it anytime. It is about a 3 1/2 hour drive each way----so pick a time and I will do my best!

      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.
