Ok I just came in from the above Support Group Meeting. I walked in and sat down by someone and after a few minutes of talking to some of the others I turned to a woman and said I do not think I have met you have I? Well it was someone banded who has been to the meeting before and who is active on these boards and I have talked to here before and invited to the meeting before. She had not been to a meeting in a couple of months . . .

She looked like a totally different person. Her weight loss had really changed her looks. I felt so bad at first that I did not recognize her. But is was due to her hard work at losing weight. I won't embarrass her by saying her name, but she knows who she is. You look great!!

So you who think people can't tell the difference when your losing weight, maybe they don't say anything because you are working so hard losng weight that people just don't know it is you!

It's funny you say that because that is the reaction that I have received from a lot of people who haven't seen me in a while. They are like "Velma? :huh: " Wondering if it is really me. LOL It is hilarious. I'm like yes it's me. Then they will say that I look so good and that I look like a teenager. :wub: That makes me feel soooo good. But you are right, people don't recognize you. Great feeling when they do though. :D

Hi Texas Bandsters! I'm in the Houston area and would like to join groups in the Woodlands, Spring, Willowbrook, Tomball region if at all possible. I have not yet been banded, but I am scheduled for sometime next month with Dr. Reilly through True Results. Does anyone have any advice???

I'm over in Cypress/Katy area. I used Dr. Reilly and liked him. I'm not sure of any support groups in those areas, just of the one at the True Results clinic on the last Thursday of the month. I've had a hectic year so I haven't been back but I'd recommend going if you can't find another. I was banded October 12, lost 40 lbs until the beginning of the year. I'm not a great bander as I got in a slump, stopped losing, felt like I failed then got pregnant (14 weeks now), started losing again (while pregnant, baby and I are healthy. I'm sure it'll slow soon since the baby will catch up) but you can message me if you'd like. =)

I have been wondering the same thing. I am getting my band next week..April 26...through True Results. I understand they have support group' date=' but I live in Katy, work in Fort Bend ISD, and have a 3 year old that I need to pick up before 6:00--so that group just doesn't work for me.

I was hoping to find Houston area support either in person or here on this site. Please let me know if you know of any support groups in and around the West Houston area.[/quote']

      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.
