Hello!

I was just wondering if there is anyone else out there with a blog (like from wordpress or blogger) chronicling their weight loss surgery. I am getting a LapBand so I have a particular interest in blogs from others with the band, but all types of weight loss surgery blogs are still relevant. I've been looking around online for blogs but it seems there aren't many that are current and post regularly. So leave a comment and tell me about your blog or blogs you know of! Thanks :)

Here's a link to my blog, feel free to check it out:

My blog is http://www.shrinking-jeans.blogspot.com I had lap band to RNY Gastric Bypass revision on October 28, 2013, but I've been blogging for a lot longer about my weight loss attempts. :)

I LOVE lapband gal!! Reading her blog is what inspired me to write one myself. I checked out a bunch of her "newly banded blogger" posts and a lot of them have since stopped updating their blogs. Bummer. But I think I might have to email her anyways and let her know how inspirational she is. Thanks :)

I have a blog that gets updated fairly regularly...I started about four months before being banded so it goes through all the thought process involved in this decision. It's on Wordpress and called TheLapbandChronicles (link in my signature below). I hope you will find something helpful and identifiable in my story.

      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.
