Hey Michelle, I'm in DFW too. I've been banded awhile but only since April have I been getting fills & trying to do this right. I'm still not perfect but im not going to give up. You are doing fantastic!!! Feel free to message me if you want. I could use someone to buddy with. A little more accountability is probably a good thing for me lol. Have you checked out the area on the boards for DFW area? Lots of nice people in our area post in there too. Good luck & congrats on the great job you're doing!

I'm in Garland my Dr is in Colleyville and his groups are too, I would love to find or get a group started in the Garland/ Mesquite/ Rowlette area. I know once I get banded I will need a friendly ear. My family is very supportive but they are thin so they try but just don't get it. Peace-out

      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.
