Orange County monthly support meeting



Recommended Posts

No need to bring anything. I was thinking that maybe in the future we could bring a favorite receipt to share, something low fat that you really enjoy. I really don't want to talk about weightloss as we sit around snacking on food. I think it defeats the purpose of why we are meeting LOL

Hey for those that have been banded for a while, not the newbies, bring a before picture. I know everyone has atleast one picture that made you say...."I need to do something about my weight". I think it is great encouragement for everyone to see where we started and how far we have come.

I'm so looking forward to meeting everyone tonight. If anyone has anymore questions before meeting tonight, please call me. I don't know that I will be back online later and I would hate to miss anyones questions before that.

Recap of infor for tonight:

Thursday Jun 25th

7 pm

Tiffeny's house

8781 Rathburn Ave. Westminster, CA. 92683

714-469-3231

See you all there.

Hi everyone,

I was so happy to meet everyone tonight. Thank you to Carmen, Jenn, Cynthia, and Vicky who joined myself and my husband Matt.

For those Tara, Esmeralda, Jodylnne, and Wally I hope you can make it to the next meeting.

After tonights gathering I decided to start a yahoogroup for the OC area. If you are interested in joining the yahoogroup, email me at

oclapbandsupport-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

and I will add you to the group. If you are familiar with yahoogroups this will be easy, if you aren't it is still easy. Check it out and join if you are interested.

We are planning another meeting for next month. But no date has been set yet. We are thinking to keep it on Thursday nights, since it worked out so nicely. I will keep you all updated.

      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.
