Orange County, CA -Looking for Lap Band Buddy



Recommended Posts

I am looking for a LapBand Buddy. Doesn't necessarily have to be someone in SoCal but someone willing to share their success and defeats via e-mail and text. Someone who can swap photos of food and recepies. Encouraging each other and being a positive influence. We all slip up at some point and that's ok, I'm not perfect and not looking for a drill instructor.

Man or woman, younger or older, doesn't matter, we already have a connection and something in common with the Band.

Let me tell you about myself:

26 year old wife and mother of a 16 month old baby girl

I do have encouragement in my life for the band but feel I could use someone in a similar situation on this journey to weightloss

Outgoing and very open, I'm an honest person

Maybe we could e-mail and get to know eachother and then exchange numbers? Even if its a thumbs up photo or a picture of Protein, something to help encourage eachother. Not to mention, who doesn't love e-cards for a good laugh.

Band was placed a couple years ago and within months I became pregnant! Had a rough pregnancy due to blood clots and finally after a year once my daughter was born, got my first fill. I do not live close to my doctor which makes it even more difficult.

Ok, I feel like I'm leaving a dating profile :wacko: I love long walks and....... you get it.

Anywho, and having a hard time without a lapband buddy and would love to have one :-)

      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.
