Lap Band Plus #43 - The Male Attention!



Recommended Posts

:thumbup:

Okay, it is so flattering. I still have a ways to go, but I lost about 30 pounds and it came off in all the right places. I'm wearing cutier clothes and I find I'm carrying myself with a lot more confidence.

Well, anyway, I was at Target and the guy behind me in line as hitting on me! He told me he was single and avaliable and asked me out... I politely told him, no, I already have a boyfriend,...

...which means it means nothing to me except the flattery...

... hey, I think I like this whole "losing wieght" thing.

I want this to be inspiration to those girls out there who are trying to lose weight.

I want this to inspire those girls who are thinking about getting the band -- do it - the men will thank you!

So, girls, if any of you are "just thinking" about getting banded or already have our date and are excited, scared, WHATEVER... remember this:

you're going to have to fight the men away with a baseball bat.

Here's to hot girls.

There are so many things about losing weight that make me feel so good and positive - health benefits are the #1 priority for me. Having normal blood sugar levels for the first time in 10 years is great. I guess I always look within myself to feel good and positive about myself - I actually don't care what men think of me (well, except for my boyfriend).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
