Need Lap Band Buddy / Mentor I am Ready for my new Life



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am 48 years old a grandmother of 4, 3 girls and 1 boy...I adore all of them. I enjoy the outdoors (although the weight has kept me from being active for the last 6 or more years) I am really anxious to get my new life started and really need someone who has been there someone who wants to help me get through this next year. My first real issue is diarrhea, this is driving me crazy...I am 12 days out and still having this issue...the nutritionist just kinda of laughed and said...that happens. I saw a thread where someone suggested Immodium, that's sounds like a good idea, anyone else agree.

Hi there, sorry to hear about your problem.. I see you posted this thread over a week ago and no one responded.. I think it's a good idea to check into one of the sights for age specific or weight specific groups. Just read some of the ones that have lost of posts and pages and find one with people who sound nice to you.. I did that and have found a good one... It's sometimes hard to start a new one... Just find one and jump in and introduce yourself... You'll be amazed at how friendly and willing to help people are... Now that I've been at this for a while I usually only go to a couple threads where I have found a home... Try it out... I hope your problem is better by this time.. Next you will get introduces to constipation.. That's the one I hate!!! Take care and best of luck on your journey...

      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.
