Cool, I'm in the Mesquite area, but that Jason's Deli is right down the street from hubby's work.

Hubby and I will try to make it.

Hi everyone, I just joined this site. I live in Red Oak, but work downtown at UT Southwestern Medical Center. I would love to have a support group. I have been banded since 2006, but am pretty much starting all over due to a bad Dr. Would love to talk to someone, everyone. :)

By the way, where do you get those weight loss tickers? I want one!

Hope to talk soon,

Lisa

Hi Lisa,

I live in Grand Prairie and I was just banded on 5/13/08. I am a member on the yahoo DFW Bandsters and this is also a great support group.

What doctor did you use? How much have you lost?

Calling all DWF area banders!!!! Please Help..

My name is Jade 28 coming in from southwest Colorado..but don't get me wrong, I'm a southern girl from Bama:)

I am set for surgery on the 12th of Feb :biggrin: But my flight arrives Wed. 10th.

Any friendly banders out there interested in meeting up and talking with me while I am in town pre-op?. I don't know the area at all and would hate to be stuck in a hotel room. drinks on me:)

No but for real i would really love some calming techniques for surgery, encouragement, and any personal experiences you might find helpful. Thanks so much..

Jade**

      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.
