Looking for Bandsters in NW Houston



Recommended Posts

HI All,

I live on the northwest side of Houston and I am looking for people who might want to start a support group. I know that I could certainly use it right now! I am at a plateau and need some encouragement!

I am around the Jersey Village area, and you know there is a Starbucks around every corner...LOL That sounds like a good place to start....

:thumbup:

Please let me know if anyone would be interested.

Sharon, I'm not familiar with Jersey Village. Is that anywhere near Spring/The Woodlands? If so, there is a meeting once a month at the Memorial Herrman Hospital in The Woodlands that I can send you info on. Also, a group of us in/near The Woodlands have just started meeting once/month on a Saturday at the Starbucks in the Panther Creek Village which I can send you info on too if you're interested.

Hope that helps. -Rachel

Jersey Village is around 290 and the Beltway, so it would take me about 30 minutes for me to get to the Woodlands. Guess it would depend on when you guys meet. During the week is out of the question! I might be able to do a weekend though.

Thanks!

Sharon

I'm in Spring now, but am moving to Huffmeister and 290 in a couple of months. I worked in Jersey Village for about a year, though.

I'd love to meet up! There is the Starbucks on 290 and (oh, lost it - is it Jones?) Across from the Exxon.

Rachel,

I met you at the last one in March...when is the next get together? I enjoyed the last one.

I live in Fairfield (290 and Mason Rd). I'd be happy to meet sometime. I know there's a Starbucks at Jones/290, and there's one here at Spring Cypress/290. Do you know of any others that are halfway between us?

Hello

Another bander in NW Houston - in the Klein area of Spring. This is certainly a strange journey, a group of people going through the same thing would be great to talk to.

Hi!

I'm in Katy...more west than northwest...but I might be interested in some get-togethers too. I'm due to be banded on 8/4.

Hi Sharon. I just found this website and was pleased to find you blog. I too live in the same area. Are you aware North Cypress Hospital has a new support group? I attended my first meeting this morning and could kick myself for not inquiring earlier. It seems they have a lot of good "up-beat" people.

      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.
