The Woodlands Support Group



Recommended Posts

Is anyone planning to attend the WL support group this Wednesday 18th (6:30) at Memorial Hermann Hospital

9250 Pinecroft Drive 1st Floor, Conference Room

I would like to attend, but hate to walk into a room and know no one. I would love to walk in and have a "friend" I live in Conroe if anyone wants to ride together, we could get dinner or something too.

I am doing pretty good - I need a fill and have one scheduled on the 25th. I can't wait for some restriction!

Good luck on the fill today, Wendy!!!

I had a great time at the Woodlands meet up. It was nice to meet more banders out there...

I actually canceled my fill yesterday - I started getting restriction (out of the blue) last week. So odd. I have never had it, had 4 fills, my last fill 3-4 weeks ago and bam, it started working! So my Dr.s said to reschedule a couple of weeks out July 9th and see how I am doing then.

I am so excited it is working. I am definitely not tight - I can still eat anything, just less of it (for Breakfast and lunch at least).

Thanks for remembering. You are too sweet!

      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.
