Hi, I too was banded at True Results in Houston. My doctor is Dr. Wilkenfeld in The Woodlands. He does the surgery downtown though. Hope you all have great success with your journey! :eek: I have lost 75lbs since being banded in Nov. '09. :wink:

Hi SwissMiss:smile:... You know they say to use your band as a tool, and that food choices are also key to loosing weight... Well, i knew that carbs and sugar were my downfall. So with my new banded lifestyle (which happened to be the day after i turned 40 :eek:), i strictly cut out all sugars and nothing with flour. Once you get the carbs out of your system, you dont crave them any more. (at least that was the case for me). My starting weight was 238 :thumbup:, surgery weight was 228, and my goal weight is 140ish :tt1:.

I also started walking everyday on my treadmill. At first it was hard to make it a routine, but over time, it just becomes a habit.

I have went to TR twice for my 1st and 2nd fills and my docs office for the 3rd and 4th. Either way, they were all done with the fluro machine. Its nice knowing they are sticking you in the right spot each time.

If you need any support / band buddy, I would be glad to help any way I can. :smile:

Sure I would love to be band buddies:thumbup:!!! My starting weight was 243, I was 239 on surgery day, and so far i've only lost 12lbs:frown:. My goal weight is 160-170ish. Im a lil disappointed that I havent lost more than that seeing that I lost 7 of the 12 the 1st week post op and 5lbs 1 month post op so now im at 227!! It seem as though thats where I am stuck... and the scale fluctuates 1-2 pounds up/down:sad:

I was banded at True Results too, August 2010 by Dr. Hollis. Starting weight 282-pre surgery 260- and now 205. I did get down to 198 but I've fallen inlove with carbs agains, especially ice cream after doing so well. I'm in need of a buddy to get me back in line because I know if get those darn sugars out of my diet, the scale will roll again and fast.

      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.
