Also, I have Dr. Reilly. I've "heard" he's good, but have any of you actually used him?

God help me' date=' I've started the two week pre-op diet today. Any suggestions on how to fight the hunger and cravings?[/quote']

What helped me was adding frozen fruit to my Protein shake. The ONLY Protein shakes I like are the True Results brand. U can get it at their locations. No aftertaste . Are u on strictly liquids . I did 2 Protein shakes and a meal. Which was Protein and vegetables .

Yes, I'm on two shakes and a meal. I thought I would just use the Atkins frozen meals since they are only meat and veggies. I didn't know I could add fruit to the shake. I'll try that tomorrow (just had my lunch shake). Thanks!!

Great, I feel better knowing that someone else was happy with him. I haven't met him yet. Have an appointment to meet him on Aug 5th. My surgery is Aug 8th.

I will swing the true results office on my lunch hour tomorrow and pick up a few of their shakes and see if I like them better. I need to get the liquid vitamins too.

I just bought the liquid Vitamins from Walgreens . The chocolate is really good! I may use one pack of Truvia to sweeten it. Natural sweetener with no calories

Happy Saturday!!! How is everyone feeling? Let us know how you are doing? I'm here to support because I know I need it... What's working what's not working?

I have to get my menus together to make sure I'm getting my Protein in. Thats one struggle. Pretty much keeping low carb some. But I'm working out everyday and loving it. For the last 2 days after my fill I noticed I was full and it lasted for like 4 hours. I'm on mushies today. I've been doing my fitness pal and staying under my 1000 calories especially with the exercise.

I would love for us to do a meet and greet for all of the Houston Bandsters. I would like for us to do something that we couldn't do before the band (hiking,zipling,swimming,shopping, etc) . Ideas are welcomed. Whose interested ?

I did all of that before the band, but I had to huff and puff my way through it. Can't wait to lose some weight and be able to really enjoy hiking, zipline, etc.

Good news! my surgery was just moved up to Monday, August 5th!! Excited and Nervous.

Good afternoon all. I was actually scheduled to go in on Thursday but my work schedule changed so I called this morn to see if they could work me in. Surprisingly they did so I received my last and final fill I hope for a long time. .2ccs which brought me up to 7cc in my 10cc band. I just have to focus on maintaining and if I lose more then that's a plus. Good luck to the rest of you.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
