I would be willing to meet up. I think it would be great to do something besides eat together. Maybe organize a walk at a park or something that could be good for us.

I would be interested in getting together. I live a couple of hours away but get in fills in dfw area, and I think the best time for me would be weekends and am open to the place.

Let's meet on a weekend--downtown Dallas might be a central location. I think that a restaurant would be a good idea. Since we're all bandsters, we could order appetizers and share them. Looking forward to meeting all of you!!!

Hi Cherri,

First, thank you for taking action on this.

To answer your questions:

1. I would love to attend (count my in as one)

2. I like the idea of a weekend for the first meeting, I think the odds that more bandsters could attend on the weekend.

3. That is a geography question and maybe we could take a poll some how, does this forum have an option to do that. If there are more RSVPs from East Dallas than anywhere else, it would make sense to make the meeting convenient for the majority. As for where, I loved the idea of a park or something to get us out and active, but I realize it is going to be a meet and greet for the first meeting, so a community room or restaurant makes sense.

Let me know if I can help!

Cheers,

Mary

Hey everyone,

I am very interested in meeting, also. Has anyone set up a meeting? I see lots of suggestions but no definate meeting plans. How many times can I say meeting? LOL. I have no preference. Any place, any time, to meet some fellow banders and share support.

Okay, BigBaby! You know I luv ya, but how the heck is Dallas central for DFW?!?!? LOL HEB or Arlington, maybe! (Yes, MY neck of the woods! :tongue2:)

I like the park/walk idea! River Legacy Park is in North Arlington and has miles of great paved trails in a gorgeous setting.

But I'll go anywhere to meet up with some fellow bandsters, so count me in.

BTW, there is a get together this evening at Mercado Juarez at Matlock & I-20 at 6:30pm tonight. Lap Band Support group meeting that gets its own meeting room and is open to any who want to show up. I have never gone to ANY and I think I might go.

      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.
