Hi lmh011--

The age depends on the group that is there. We have a few people that are in their mid-to upper 20s, I am 35, and the age goes I guess around upper 50's early 60s. Honeslty I haven't paid much attention to age.

All I can say is I think all the people in the group are a great bunch of people. And I can also add, no one is there to judge anyone, only support. Please drop by and find out for yourself. I can promise great conversation, support, and laughter.

Your welcome to PM me if you have further concerns.

Melissa Lea

Lizrbit --I'm afraid I won't be heading to Galveston anytime soon. I'm sure there are other Galveston bandsters out there. Start a new thread and look for All Galveston Bandsters.

Best wishes with you and your journey.

Lizrbit --you may want to go to the yahoo groups to Houston Area Bandsters. You may have more response there. It's a very large group of people around they Houston area. There are multipe support groups through them.

Good luck!

      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.
