fashionstylist 458 Posted July 25, 2013 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 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losing it in Katy 6 Posted July 25, 2013 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losing it in Katy 6 Posted July 25, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Losing it in Katy 6 Posted July 25, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

fashionstylist 458 Posted July 27, 2013 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 ? 1 SlimCia reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Losing it in Katy 6 Posted July 29, 2013 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.

Lady VS 1,147 Posted July 30, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
