32 single mother of one in Arkansas



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I was banded on 3/31/08 by Dr. Jones in Jonesboro, AR. I've gone from 270 lbs to 237 lbs currently. I want to make contact with someone in the Wynne, AR, Jonesboro, AR area for support while going through this transformation. I've lost 40 lbs but gain 15 lbs back now starting to lose again.

Thanks!

Hi Mae! Sorry I am not in your neck of the woods but there are lots of people on this board so I am sure someone out there is. I would also check with your surgeon's office to see if they have a support group. Most of them do!

Hi,

I live in Marion, AR, but I lived in Wynne until I was 12. I'm 30 years old and also have one child. I was banded 3/6/09. I'd love to chat with you any time.

Thanks! I would like to keep in contact. Still living in Wynne at this time, traveling through Marion everyone working day to work in Memphis. Still hanging in there, get back on track after a long vacation (hehehe) not funny but funny at the same time.

Wow! You drive a long way to work then if you come from Wynne to Memphis. I work in Memphis too, but don't have near the drive you do.

Nice to meet you. Do keep in touch.

Hey guys! I recently got banded (again) and will get my first fill tomorrow. I would love to hear any progress you have made. I had the band several years ago, but had it removed in 2007. I kinda forgot how it was when I first got the band. I am a 32 tear old, married mother of 2. I live in Little Rock, but I'm always in the area (well towards West Memphis and Memphis). Keep me posted!

      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.
