I would love to know as well. I know of one that meets in Keller pretty regularly? What part of DFW are you in?

Lots of people here go to the group at Baylor in Plano. I haven't been personally as I live in Fort Worth, but the people I know say it is an incredible group. There is a also a group of us who meet in the north Dallas area the first Saturday of each month for lunch. If you do a search, you will find several DFW / Dallas / Fort Worth threads.

I'm south of Fort Worth and just heard about a group that meets once a month in Mansfield.

Where is the group in Mansfield?? That wouldn't be terrible as I'm there quite a bit!

I'll ask my friend. I'm pretty sure it's held at a church (though it isn't sponsored by the church).

I'll let you know!

Does anyone have any more specific info about the DFW groups? Plano is pretty far out of my way, so I am unlikely to attend. Mid Cities, Las Colinas, and Oak Lawn areas are where I gravitate towards regularly and would love to find something a little closer to one of those areas.

There is a monthly support group in Grapevine. First Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm at the Bessie Mitchell house. It is operated by the Baylor Weight Loss Surgery center but everyone is welcome. There is always a NUT at the meeting.

      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.
