Anyone know of a support group in the temple area? Just starting my banding journey and hope to be banded in September. Would also like to find a workout buddy.

I haven't heard of anything in Waco, as far as I know there aren't any lap band surgeons around here either. I got my band in Houston 2 weeks ago! When do you get yours?

Hopefully in September. I go for my consult in August and will set my date then. I'm getting it done at true results in Austin. How has your experience been so far?

Mine has been awesome! I did it through True Results Houston and they were really nice and helpful.

I am also in Temple. I was banded on July 9 through True Results Austin. I am going to try to go to Scott and White's support group. I'm not sure if they will let me in but I need the help.

I don't know about s&w either. All I have found are over eaters anonymous in temple and belton. How was your experience with true results in Austin? Are you happy with the band so far?

      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.
