hi hazelb,

actually i didnt go. i really wanted to see the cosmetic surgeon but i didnt feel like driving that far. last thursday night i went to see dr S and got lost coming home.

how was it?

actually there is a potential katy group starting from the other website "houston bandsters.com

it's a hard site to get around....doesnt have forums and topics like this one so it's hard (or maybe i'm missing something)

do you want me to forward the email to you or give the person organizing your email?

let me know. after this i will go on the site to see if i can find how to direct you to the girl

she is just trying to come up with sites to meet and days. it's 8 people so far

have a good night

joanne

Hi there, fellow Katyites!

I also live in Katy and would love to have a support group close to home, but... I am keeping my surgery *super-private. Only my husband knows.

So as much as I want to join you guys, I don't feel like I can right now. Maybe as time goes by, I'll ease up.

Can you keep posting your meeting times here so I can be included when ready?

*please note that I have decided to keep this private from friends and family because, mainly, my MIL has a very, very big mouth and tons of opinions... and I just can't handle being watched and having to endure comments fabout every bite of food and every ounce of weight for the rest of my life. Oh, and she also lives in Katy.

Does this group really meet at the coffeeshop? If not let's start a group starting next Thursday, May 30th. Anyone who is reading this can join us. We can meet whatever time most convenient to everyone. I work so it will have to be after 5 PM.

Is this group still meeting? I am strongly considering the band, but and new to all of this. I'd love to hear stories about how it is for everyone. I live in the Katy area and would love to meet with a group.

Live in Katy and I'm curious as to how many groups there are in Katy. I was just banded two days ago. I feel great but I'm scared to death about dehydration and eating to much. I've lived on sugar free popsicles and special k drink, sugar free Jello, broth and good ol H2O..

I'm open to any and all advice. I had it done at North Cypress Medical Center.

      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.
