looking for a buddy



Recommended Posts

Hello All,

I live in Texas (ellis county) and am looking for a lap band buddy. I had surgery April 8 and just had my 3rd fill.

If anyone is interested in being buddies, please email me. You dont have to live near me, but it would be nice if you did! I would just like someone I could email/talk to daily and talk about our progress.

Hope to hear from someone!

Hi mommytoethan and Ladybird. I am nancie from California. Do you have room for one more buddy? I too am looking for some lap band friends. I was banded on June 19. So far.. I'm doing good but a little hungry.

Of course, Nancie! I was hungry, too so I know how you feel. Try to ask yourself if you are really physiologically hungry or hungry just because you are used to being hungry! You really have to work on your brain during this process.

I lost weight initially then gained some back. I just got "filled" so I feel more motivated.

It's tough, but you'll do it!

      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.
