I like Governor Christy...you'd never catch Rick "Pretty Ricky" Perry making such a personal confession. I'm voting for him if he runs for President.

I'm in Houston...being banded through True Results this month.

Me too, weird both in same town, both got lapband, both married someone from New Jersey. WTF! are you my doppleganger!?!?!

Anyways, it's great to see a high profile individual take obesity by the horns and tell everyone in the world his story.

@Aeromech, does your wife complain when there is no kraut for her hot dog??? Or, do you have to drive 3/4 across town to get a "slice of pie"??

Or insist the Jersey Shore is the prettiest place on earth???

Actually she doesn't like kraut, she does complain about the lack of good pizza and loves Mrs. Ellies pizza. Yes it's clear across town from us... Lol She watched every minute of jersey shore too...

My wife actually has me drive across town to Central Market to buy her Sabrett hot dogs, saurkraut and mustard when she wants that Jersey food.

For her pizza urge we do Kennedy's Chicago pizza. She gets the thin crust and says it compares to NYC style.

I like Dough Neopolitan Pizza on Blanco. It's lap band size and super thin crust I can get down.

I've been there twice in 18 months since being banded.

Did anyone use the same Dr. as Governor Christie. I read some bad things in the news about him and pending law suites. Wish the best for the Gov even though we would differ politically I know this fat issue knows no bounds.

He used the same doctor that Rex Ryan (NY jets coach) used. I live in PA & I really like Gov Christie. I hope he does well.

      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.
