There is a dinner in Arlington - at Mercado Juarez - the third Thursday of each month. The time is 6:30. We would love to see you there. You can meet me, Cynthia Jones (a 210 pound loser), Charlie (the unofficial host), my DH Bob, and a host of others.

Where do you live? There are several other D/FW dinners throughout the month, from Burleson to Plano to Dallas, etc. I only attend the one, but I can get you info on any that might interest you.

I'm in Fort Worth, though Arlington isn't a far drive at all. I'd like to know of some of the other group meeting times, sounds like something I need. Thanks

hi my name is nikki. I just got banded on 08/18/06. I am trying to stay positive and I think people who have had the procedure can do me some good. I love to come to one of the Saturday dinners to meet all of the participants.

The only one I go to is the one in Arlington - third Thursday of each month (6:30 PM) at Mercado Juarez.

There IS a private room involved, but no password. Just tell them you're with the Lap Band group - or the fat people. Either way, they will point you in the right direction.

Attendance varies, but I'd say on the average, there are usually about 15-20 people there.

      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.
