Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I would like a female buddy...



Recommended Posts

Hi, I live in Colorado and am looking for someone to be a buddy with. I've posted on other boards before and haven't had a whole lot of luck.

A little about me, I am 26 and was recently banded with a Realize band on 10/2/08. At my doctor's office yesterday I have so far lost 19 pounds. I have been married for 2 and 1/2 years now and do not have any children yet.

If anyone is interested and is ready to be accountable with me, please let me know.

Thanks.

Sweet! I am only 2 weeks post-op, but it sucks not having someone to talk to (because I am the only one I know with a band) about stuff sometimes. I am 6' tall, how tall are you? You look really great in your pictures BTW. You have made some really great progress!! :) How many CC's do you have in your band now? Do you always come here to Denver to get your fills or have you gone to a fill center where you live?

If you want, you can PM me and then our convo isn't so public... :rolleyes2: Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Sorry if I misspell (did I even spell "misspell" right? ha-ha) things, but the spell check on here sucks and I don't want to download somthing from a 3rd party website.

      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.
