Looking for Lap-Band buddies in Florida!!!



Recommended Posts

Is Bent Oak right next to Whispering Winds off Apopka Blvd???? Because that is where I live, it sounded very familar. No... Chilis sounds great to me! I have been isolated in the house, not meeting people and not making new friends for far too long now.This will be good for me. I 'm kind of nervous that I will come across as really boreing since I am disabled and don't work anymore and I have no kids or significant other anymore. No scrapbooking hobbies. Yawn! Geeze I bore me! Ha! But ya know sometimes ya gotta say.....What the Hell...and try anyway and thats what I am going to do! So let's try to get together and see whats up in LapBand Land in our neck of the woods!

I'm going to St. Augustine with my friends from work tmo, but maybe we could get coffee Saturday morning. You gotta think of your band as your own personal power tool to get what you really want. Has it been x rayed for proper placement lately? Deb

Deb, I am really sorry but I have had something very unexpected come up and I am going to need a rain check. My sister and brother in law from WPB are coming in to surprise my Dad { we live together} for the day! I was really looking forward to meeting you and possibly Melody. Let's see if we can get our rain check in before Xmas, that way we each get a new friend as a present to ourselves! Ho Ho Ho!

Key West and the lower keys, their are a number of us that have had WLS we get to group up and compare notes sometimes. We will go to Outback Steak House and invite unbanded others to eat the leftovers. We have fun. New people are welcome. I was a leftover eater for several years.

      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.
