Single,31,no kids, lookin for bandster friends



Recommended Posts

Hey ya'll,

I am 31, sigle, no kids, lookin for bandster friends around my age. It would be nice to go through this journey with someone that just plain old understands what I'm going through ya know? :w00t: I live in the San Fernano Valley in Southern Cali.

Anyways, I was banded 02-24-09 and I have only lost 10 lbs so far and I'm a bit upset about it. Is this normal? I have not had a fill yet, so maybe that's why? :tt1:

Congrats! I wish you well. How are you feeling?

I go in for my first fill 04-13-09. My surgeon cancelled my last appointment last saturday for my first fill, he is on vacation, so I will have my first fill 7 weeks after surgery.

Maybe after I will have restriction and start losing. I guess it doesn't help that I haven't been working out much and eating kinda fatty foods.

For me, I am going through a lot of ups and downs. I was depressed right after the band, and now I am ok. Everyone experiences different things ya know. I can't wait for my first fill to see a difference.

I wish you luck on your new endeavor. Keep in touch.

HI Poma,

Today is i month after surgery and I'm feeling good. I recently started to feel hungry again and get cravings ... so I am looking forward to my first fill on the 22nd. Since surgery I have lost 18 pounds ... but lately i have been getting really painful tummy aches. Have you experienced anything like that? maybe im eating to much or to fast.

How are you feeling?

Thanks for starting this thread... Its a great idea :)

      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.
