Calling all scrapbookers...



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if there are any scrapbookers on here, and specifically, if any of you have done a scrapbook about your lap band journey?

Thanks!:biggrin1:

I buy them and then they sit on my shelf unused. Even got one already completed from my mom (just had to add pictures) and it sits on the shelf too. Does that count? :)

I am a very avid (obsessed) scrapbooker. I haven't had my surgery yet but I plan on making an album just for my weightloss and journey.

Hey Amber! I am from West Monroe! I considered Dr. Merriman as well, but I am going with Dr. Cribbins in Dallas. Good luck on your consult!

Nope! :) It doesna count until the photos are IN and the journaling is done!

But it's a nice place to start from!

Munchkin, I'm only 3 months out so all I've done is take a few photos -- but I have a box that has all my hospital bracelets (and forms -- I had three different sets!) and I have an outline of different photos I need to take. I expect it to be one of my MOST shared albums!

How about you?

      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.
