Looking for an accountability partner



Recommended Posts

I was banded on May 9th and am half way to my target of losing 70 lbs. I am looking for a buddy who would be available for text/Facebook/my fitness pal etc. my main struggles are tracking my food, drinking my Water. Hopefully we can exchange encouragement and be in each others corners. I live in Mississauga Ontario but I am open to a long distance buddyship.

This is weird I have not been on this site for month and this was the first topic I saw. I had Fluid removed from my band and my brain and stomach thought it was a free for all. I am having my Fluid put back in on Monday. I actually came on to find someone or something to help motivate me. I am already on Facebook and my fitness pal. Message me and I can give you my information. Good Luck and stay positive.

      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.
