Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor 23 Female from NC with 135 lbs. Looking for a similar age match!



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I had a buddy when I did Weight Watchers in the past and loved the system. We would actually hand-write each other letters and send one another fun-filled packages to keep us inspired and excited! :)

Just a little about me, I guess-- I'm a 23-year old libra, finishing up my fifth (second year as a senior) year at the local university with my BA in Religious Studies and a minor in Anthropology. I'm hoping to go to law school next fall, though I've yet to apply. I enjoy drawing, reading, photography, watching movies, etc. My Meyers-Briggs is an ENFP: Extrovert Intuitive Feeling-Based Perceptive. :biggrin:

If you're a spunk 20-something looking for a Band Buddy, I'd love to hear from you! Please respond here so others can see that I've had response, but also shoot me an email to doodleallday@gmail.com!

      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.
