Could use from my fellow lapbanders



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. My name is Tina and I have been on this board for over two years now and have met some amazing people. I wanted to reach out to everyone in an effort to get some support for the upcoming 3-Day Breast Cancer walk that I will be participating in. I did the walk last year and enjoyed every minute of it. Because I have lost the weight and I have the ability to walk 60 miles, I want to continue doing this walk for as long as I can. I am asking that you please support my fundraising efforts so that I can participate. I must meet a minimum of $2,300 in donations or I cannot participate. The walk is October 9-11 and I have quite a ways to go before getting to my fundraising goal. If you are able to make a donation, regardless of size, I ask that you visit my web page at: Welcome to the Washington DC Breast Cancer 3-Day:

I appreciate your attention and pray that my fellow lapbanders can help me. Thanks again.

So...the walk begins in 11 days and I still have a long way to go before reaching the minimum goal set by the walk. I'm asking you guys for your help. Participating in this walk is very important to me...I really want to do it again. Last year was very inspiring and I can't wait to participate again. If you are interested in donating, please follow the link on the post above and it will take you to my page. I thank everyone in advance and I hope you all wish me luck. Thanks, guys!

That's so awesome Tina! I will definitely visit your page and make a donation on Thurs (pay day). Will you send me a note to remind me?

Hope all else is well with you!

Thanks, Val. Every little bit helps. I truly appreciate it. I'm so determined to get to that amount so I can walk. I'm so excited but a little nervous that I'm doing it by myself this year. Last year I put together a team and there were five of us walking together...this year I'm all alone. Wish me luck.

You're going to do great Tina! Just making a donation now.

It's such an amazing organization--I just did the Chicago Komen 5k last weekend and it was so inspiring!

I'll be walking with you in spirit!

      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.
