Available Lap Band Buddy / Mentor Come Join our little Group!



Recommended Posts

Hello,

We are accepting new members in our little lap band group. Members are expected to participate by sharing their success or troubles, keeping records of their food and exercise and weighing in weekly. We do this so that when things go wrong we can look at what you are doing and give you advice. This is a small group but there is great diversity here, young, old and middle age, from those who haven't been banded yet to those who are living at goal weight. We share recipes, and advice and all kids of things. It's a very fun group. If you would like to join please send me an email, telling me a little about yourself @ mrboswell@msn.com.

Thanks and Good Luck!!

I am having my lap band surgery in 16 days. I am getting a little worried. I know this is what I want to do and I know that all change is hard. Any words of support would be great.

      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.
