Hey all...

It's been a little over 3 months since I've made the choice to have the lapband surgery, and take the steps toward getting it done.

In the process, I've been watching a few different forums. This one in general, has made me think about how nifty it would be to meet a guy that is/has/will be getting banded as well.

As with most people, I've had my ups and downs in relationships. Just thought I would throw this thought out there and see if it's crossed anyone elses mind.

Has anyone taken this journey with their partner or met someone along the way that has also been banded and you are now dating?

Just curious!

Thanks!

Hello,

I am going through this journey with my boyfriend of 4 years. It's been tuff, it's only been a month now. He has been there for me, but at the same time, it's been hard with him. I am having lots of ups and downs, emotional lows, highs.

He has been stressed at work so I have not been able to get much support from him lately and he lives 1 hour away so that doesn't help much either. It's been difficult to stay with him. I feel that a lot of my needs are not being met and I want to move on but not until I lose the weight, so it's kind of a tuff situation.

My therapist seems to think once I lose the weight I will have more options and not feel he is the only one for me, since I'm somewhat unhappy with him, but I stay anyways.

So there you have it. It's been difficult.

Yeah I have thought of meeting a man that has been banded as well, but wouldn't know where to start. :)

Plus I can't do that to my current boyfriend. I would have to leave him first. :cursing:

      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.
