Over weight and Over 60



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes:Hi,

As listed I am over weight and over 60. Right now I have very few helth issues but if I don't control this over eating that is going to become a problem. I can not change my age but I would very much lick to change the over weight part. I have not willingly had my picture taken for years and I don't make contact with old friends and dread seeing anyone I used to know 10 years or more ago.

I have tried all kinds of diets and stuff but am not willing or able to stick with anything but I am definatly ready to stop living this way and would like to be more sociable and enjoy a lot that I now miss.

I recently had dinner with a friend and she shared with me she had lapband 3 years ago and is very happy with the result. She lives out of state ( I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area). If anyone lives in my area and would like to suggest a doctor to use I would be very grateful. I live near Fort Worth but am willing to travel to Dallas for surgery. I would love to know what most people pay for their surgery I have read on the internet from $9,900 to $15,000 since I will be paying out of pocket I would of coarse like to pay the lowest but that is not alway the best way to go.

Thanks for listening and responding if you can,

      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.
