Hi ercole,

I'm from Texas too - DFW area - are you coming this way to have your surgery? What doctor are you using? I have one more seminar tomorrow and then I'm going to decide between 2 that I have been thinking about. I'm scared too but really excited as well to finally have some real help to getting a grip on my bad eating habits.

Keep in touch,

Alison

Hey, that's great - I'm in Mansfield. Do you ever get together with any other bandsters? I've been talking to a girl in Fort Worth about maybe getting a group together, what do you think?

Just want to say hi and introduce myself. It's been 11 days post surgery. I'm good, recovery wasn't bad. I can't wait to have solid foods again. I feel good knowing I can see my collar bone, and my stomach going down. Anyway, be excited it's a new beginning.

How about once a month and we can alternate where we go since everyone lives in different places? Should we just throw some dates out and see what happens?

Once a month is good, and we could meet at different places like bookstores, coffee houses but I am open to other suggestions. Weekends or Week nights?

Hi! I could use a friend and be a friend also! I am 2 months post op with 1 fill down and the 2nd scheduled for July 21st. I live just north of Tampa, Fl with my hubby, 2 beagles and a cat!

I have been reading a lot on this site, it seems like we do have a lot of support here! Which is nice since the support group I go to only meets once a month!

I wish everyone well on our journey!!!!!

I have heard "One can never have to many friends" I guess this is true huh. You didn't sound to elementary, now if you have put check yes or no, that really would have been elementary. lol I'm soon to be banded myself and looking for some online friends to chat with about it. I'd love to chat with you, just give me a hollar. I think my email address is on here somewhere.

      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.
