As of now, I have only heard back from 3 people with a yes to our meeting on Saturday so there will be 4 including me. The other 3 are: Jacqi, Toni, and Amanda B. Also, I joined a weekly support group at Baylor Plano run by a psychologist and met a girl there who said she'd love to come too so we may have 5 of us there. For some reason, I don't have where you live AmandaB. But based on where the other 3 of us live, I say we change our location. Does anyone have a problem with meeting at La Hacienda off Preston Rd. North of Frankford Rd. at 1:00 pm on Saturday? The physical address is: 17390 Preston Road # 100, Dallas, TX. If I don't hear back from everyone on this, we will leave it as it at Pappasitos.

Oh, and to cover my bases I'm e-mailing this to y'all too. You only need to respond in one place. I just wanna have the best shot of getting the message to each of you since I'm proposing a meeting change.

I look forward to meeting y'all!

Oh, and let's all meet outside by the front door since we don't really know who we're looking for yet. :-). I will send y'all my cell number except you Toni since you have it. If you decide not to come or you are running late, please text me so we know whether or not to wait on you.

sorry i missed get-together. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one. and hopefully by the next group luncheon I'll either have my surgery date - or be sleeved - which if it's the latter I'll probably be home still.....

I'm glad to find a group of people from the area that get together. I was attending the meetings at Plano Presby they had twice a month, but it wasn't what I thought of when I thought support group. I learned a lot from the speakers, but I want to ask questions and find out how others with the sleeve are doing. I'd love to come to some of the get together meetings. I live in the Colony on the Plano border and can travel anywhere. My email is desi1023@gmail.com, please add me to your list :)

      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.
