Any Baytown, Tx Bandsters?



Recommended Posts

are there any baytown, texas bandsters out there? and if so, is there a support group in our area other then in houston? driving to houston in the middle of the week is nearly impossible for me. i would LOVE to attend dr. spivaks support group, but the time and place just isn't feasible.

just wondering if there's any baytown, texas bandsters out there with a more local support group that gathers together here in town?

please let me know.

thanks, hazeleyegrl1

would anyone be willing to help me start a support group of our own in baytown???

one suggestion i have is to get the banded baytownians and persons from the surrounding areas, like highlands, mt.belvieu, crosby, etc. together @ one of the starbucks in baytown maybe twice a month.

would anyone be interested?

i really don't know how to organize one of these things but i think we really need an informal support group of our own in this area!

please let me know if anyone is interested.

thanks!

xoxo, christie

GREAT! so ummm, how do we get started? i need help getting the ball rolling. my fear is that if we simply mention a date, time, & location that we may have a few show up, and of course it will hopefully grow over time....

but what do we do once we're there????

Christie,

Please send me an e-mail to jpifer@calpine.com and let me know how to contact you. We have about 3 or 4 people interested in a support group in Baytown, so I think it would work out fine. Please just let me know, we are all anxiously waiting.

Thank you so much.

There is a meeting tonight in Baytown. It is at Starbucks on Garth across from Walmart At 6:30.

Aww I missed the meeting.:) I forgot to check back on this thread to see if anything had ever been set up. I hope there will be more meetings because I'd really like to go.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
