East Texas Buddy Needed



Recommended Posts

I'm from Henderson, Texas and I'm looking for a Buddy that's within 30 miles of myself. I prefer a female that needs to lose at least 100 lbs. Thanks

I know I'm not exactly what your looking for but can you really have too many friends?

I'm from shreveport Lousiana, about 20 mins away from the texas line. I still have about 100- to 130 lbs to go.

Thank You for all the responses. I have not ment to ignore anyone. My daughter was suppose to be getting married this month and her fiancee just decided he did not want to be married. My daughter has four little ones. She has a 6 yr old ,a 4 yr old and a set of twins a boy and a girl 18 months old. My daughter is devastated and decided to take a trip for a week to get away and clear her head. I've been busy helping take care of the children. Forgive me if I seemed like I don't care enough to respond to your answers.

Ready to go I'd like to keep in touch. I just was wondering if there was someone close enough that we could meet sometime and do something together have lunch or just talk. I'm having a hard time staying motivated and I need some help. I would like to keep in touch with everyone. My e-mail is tgh153xl@yahoo.com

Once again I'm sorry I did not respond sooner. Hugs! Teresa

Hi Paula,

I'm Val, I live in Lufkin too and was banded on Aug 19 th.

Hey Val!!! Who did your surgery? Dr. Hambric did mine.

Today, I was able to start soft foods. YIPPEE! Then next Friday I can transition to regular food. I haven't had any problems so far at all. This morning I did accidentally swallow a piece of ice and it hurt, but at least it melted. LOL

This past week I haven't lost any weight. I'm hanging around between 18-20 lbs. lost which is what I've been for about a week. That's kind of getting me down, but I'm trying not to let it bother me too much. I just thought I would have lost more weight.

Nice to know someone else in Lufkin that has been banded.

Congratulations Paula on your weightloss. I lost 20 lbs pre-op on my liquid diet. I was banded on June 4th. Since I was banded I've lost 35 lbs. My doctor told me I should be able to lose around 10 to 12 lbs a month. It's hard to do unless I get my exercise in. I go for my 3rd fill Sept 22. I'm looking forward to it. Keep up the great energy and don't get down. You will hit plateus with the lapband. You are doing great. Hugs!

      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.
