Hello all - just a thought - and a lot of experience with groups meeting up in Houston - maybe we could alternate a meet up, every other week or even every week, and change venues so that everyone get a chance to travel? Overall we have a huge area, but the more you break it down you are going to see less attendees. If we have a large group and rotate, the logistics of the meetings could be handled by a person(s) closer to that area.

Just a thought - and if anyone would like to meetup in NW Houston let me know.

Hi all, I'm going to be sleeved on Tuesday in Denver, but my husband just got a job in Houston and we will be relocating there by October 1. Would love to meet other people and also need to find a doc for post op care.

I live in the Heights area, but would be willing to drive.

I am 63 years old and eat very nutritious food. However, I am about 60 pounds overweight and have recently been given blood pressure meds. Should I consider bariatric surgery? If so, which?

I would be willing to organize. I am a therapist near Willowbrook mall. I have some space. PM me evenings that work best for you. Let's see what we can get started.

      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.
