I am in Conroe, the closest support group I know of is in The Woodlands - I haven't been yet - but plan to. If you decide to start one, let me know!

I am trying to find an exercise buddy that wants to meet and walk, bike or do the Water Rec Center, or Curves - but no go so far.

I have been going to the Woodlands get-together at the Panther Creek Starbucks. We have been meeting once a month and it has been very nice. I live at Lake Conroe for a little longer and will be moving to Bryan soon. Our next meeting in the Woodlands is on the 12th.

I live a bit farther north and really don't want to drive farther south than Conroe, unless I have to, that's why I was hoping to find a group in Conroe or Willis.

Let me know if anyone wants to get together in Conroe or Willis.

I would be interested in the support group in Conroe area. I live in Montgomery and just decided to get banded. I was impressed with Dr. Collier but still want to check all the ones in the area. Any suggestions?

Had a great time talking with ya'll. Both of you look amazing and has inspired me enough that I went online and got approval for financing. So now all I need to do is my pre-op appt. I would love to meet again and we could even start a walking group?? Anyone interested?

Hey Sarah,

It was nice to meet you today also. I would like to meet again and you know after our conversation today that I really need to get into the exercise. I would really like to get together and walk. Let me know when you get your pre-op appt. Best of luck.

Melinda and Sarah, it was great to meet both of you yesterday! I'd love to get together on a "regular" basis, maybe someplace in the middle??? haha

Thanks for the compliment Sarah, I feel wonderful and I'm anxious to see what my weight loss is now. After yesterday I am moving my appt up so I can find out my current weight and get an appt for my 2nd fill.

Melinda, it's like we've known each other for years so it was great to finally meet face to face with no curtains or screens.......haha

You both have my cell phone, let's set another date!

Anyone else in the area, join us........and I don't think I'll be driving to meet ya'll and walk, just a bit far.

:huh2:

I forgot to mention a comment my DH made. He said are you sure they were just banded because it didnt seem like they needed to loose much. I go for my pre-op appt on 4/30 so I will let you know how it goes. I am willing to meet anywhere. I drive to Huntsville to work 3 to 4 nights a week and always in the Woodlands/Spring area 2-3 a week too.

Well Sarah, tell your DH thanks! but when I started I had over 100 lbs to lose! I can't wait to see Dr. Collier and see how much more weight I've lost. I'm only using his scales for now. Soon I'm going to use my PCP's, she's very supportive of my having the band.

We need to plan our next meeting......

      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.
