I need some serious help. I am starving. At night my tummy rumbles and rumbles. I do not get up and eat, but it hurts. I have only been banded for 7 days (so have way through my two week liquid, soft blends diet) but it is not enough. Is it okay to move on to week three foods? Also, the thought of having to drink another protein shake makes me want to vomit.

My name is Kendra and I am a 33 year old wife and mother of two. I have been overweight since after having my daughter in 1998. So this is no longer baby fat. At my heaviest I was 247 lbs and I am only 5'1". I have been thinking about having the lap band for a couple of years now. I would make the appointment with TrueResults to talk about it but would never follow through. Once I reached 247 I figured something had to change or my husband was going to be a single father and I could not do that to him. I started watching what I ate at the beginning of 2011 and started working out with some of my friends at work. I went for my first TrueResults meeting with my husband in mid January. At my inital TrueResults meeting I weighed 236 lbs. I had my follow up meeting and got the approval for surgery from my insurance company in early March. I went on my liquid diet on March 17 and was banded on March 31. My weight at the time of being banded was 220 lbs. A lot of people say "why did you do it? You have lost X amount of weight on your own." I say to them "I have dieted before and have always gone back to my old eating habits and hopefully this will force me to stick with it." I am excited and looking forward to my new beginning.

Hey Shonda! I am in Dallas. I used TrueResults in Richardson. So far it has been an awesome experience. I am just ready to getting back to eating meat. LOL
