I was banded in SA at the Nix on March 9th but live in Killeen. No one here knows that I had the surgery. Where did you get banded?

I live in San Antonio and am getting bannded a the end of the month! At the nix also! People can be mean, and there are people in my family that dont agree with what I'm doing, they think it's the "easy" way out. You can email me if you want, I can't really help you with the band part yet, but I can be an understanding person that know what you are going through (or will soon). My email is laceyismynameo@gmail.com

I'm in Hutto (NE of Austin). I work in Austin and travel to other locations as well. I'm getting banded on 7/10 at south Austin medical center. St David's. I could totally use a mentor/buddies. At least to chat. I'm starting to get nervous! Really nervous! Wondering if I'm doing the right thing!!! I've wanted this for 4 years but never wanted to finance....now I have awesome insurance that covers it %100. I've been jumping all the hoops my insurance required of me since 12/11. Now it's only a few days away and I'm excited but totally freaking out! For so many reasons. I'm saying goodbye to all my guilty pleasures......donuts, Pasta, breadsticks, etc etc etc all the stuff that got me fat!!!

Anyway, would love to chat it up with some of y'all! I can be emailed at

      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.
