Anyone near Dallas?



Recommended Posts

Here's my question.....one of my goals when I first started this fantastic lap band trip was to fit my butt in a pair of jeans again and then FINALLY take a ride on a motorcycle. Now I'm looking for any one that might want to help a girl out making one of my goals come true. I can now fit in those jeans and I'm just hoping to find someone that would be willing to take a chance and I'd promise not to scream in their ear or hold on too tight. So if there's any brave soul out there...I'd love to hear from you.

Becky, you and my wife have the same doctor. We may have passed each other in the office? How close is "close to Dallas"? I've given lots of rides here in our little town. I always ask the question, "Go fast or go stylin'?" I have yet to go stylin'. Why is it women like to go fast? Get back to me, maybe I can help you out....

Dr. Jay is great! He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. So far, I've lost more weight than any of this other patients. I'm a bit competitve, I guess. Well, my close to Dallas would be McKinney. And I'm not sure what stylin is but I'd be up for whichever. It's just something I promised myself that I'd do and man, I really want to. How's your wife doing with her band? I bet she feels the same way as I do about Dr. Jay. Take care and let me know where y'all live.

Becky, we live about a hundred miles south of Dallas, toward Houston. But if you go north from McKinney, just a little ways, you run into the area where my mom is from, Van Alstyne. Stylin' in our town is going downtown on a Friday or Saturday night and riding around the square (yes, it's square) so that all your friends get a look at you. Seeing and being seen, I guess. In Fairfield, the biggst thing is Sam's BBQ, out on the interstate. Mostly, we're a gas stop for folks on the way to Houston or Dallas.

As for the band, Joy is losing very slowly. She's down to 218, down 83 lbs. Looking for onederland...wooohooooo!

I'm very serious. I just though that you being kinda far from here it would be to much trouble for you. But since your Mom lives in Van Alstyne, I'm betting you and Joy come up to visit her so if you're ever going to be up this way, I'm ready for sure!

      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.
