single banded ny'ers out there



Recommended Posts

Hi I'm Paula. I live in Brooklyn and work in Midtown. I am 28 and single. I would love to get together with other singles who have the Lap Band because I think we have a slightly different experience than those who are married or in relationships.

Best of luck to everyone.

Hi All, just finding this site. Has anyone tried to and met up with other on this thread yet?

Maybe some of us can and become our own support group. I live and work in Manhattan. How about you?

Haven't done so bad so far.

Hi Everyone. I'm reading that we're all want to have a support group among those on this thread. But, someone needs to take the lead. I'm not much of a leader but I would like to get this started.

Let me know if you would like to get together this month. Then we can narrow it down to a location, date and time.

I've seen so many sites start and fizz out before it gets started. This is something we need to be committed to. For some of us do not have family or friends that are experiencing what we're going through.

Please respond back here or by private message here. I'm looking forward to responses.

      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.
