Hello Group. Wanted to say hi. My name is Jake and I was banded on 4/24/08 in Houston, Texas. Need to lose about 70lbs (180lbs goal Weight). My wife is having her band done on May 7th. We are going to take this journey together.

Hi Jacob nice to meet you! How is the process going for you? I get banded on May 13th in Los Angeles. All the best to your wife!

Oh and I am a computer idiot and I have no idea how these creative people put all these wonderful images in their messages LOL

Congrats! I am in Houston, too. Today is my last appointment of my 6 month diet to satisfy insurance requirements. I should know soon if I am approved. I am going to True Results.

I have not been able to get my ticker to show up either. I have seen many people ask how it is done so we are not alone - but I have yet to see the answer. :unsure:

I clicked on someone elses ticker. Then designed one of my own, made up a pass code and copy and pasted it into the "signature" section of my main page. Theres a thread somewhere with more technical directions and links and stuff. try searchign for "tickers" or "how to make a ticker" in the topic bar at the top right of your screen.

      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.
