Hey Ya'll, You Guessed It I'm From Texas! Just Wanted To Introduce Myself. I Have Been Reading Posts For About A Month. I Am 32, Married To A Wonderful Man This Time, Lol.... I Have 2 Boys And 1 Girl. They Keep Me Busy! I Work As A Nurse So My Schedule Is Hectic. I Am Waitng On The Insurance Company To Say Git-r-done!!! I Still Have To Go For A Physical. Did My Bloodwork Already. Just Playing The Waiting Game. Anyway, I Hope To Meet Some People From The Ft. Worth Area. Maybe Make Some New Friends. Ya'll Know How Intimidating It Can Be To Try To Make New Friends Being What They Call "morbidly Obese". Hope To Talk To Some Of Ya'll Soon.. I WILL BE HAVING MY LAP BAND WITH DR. MARSDEN FROM LEWISVILLE, TX. I'M 5'5" AND 274#. I HAVE AT LEAST 125 LBS TO LOSE. I WAS ALWAYS BIG BONED NOT REALLY THAT FAT NOW THAT I LOOK BACK AT THE PICTURES I DIDN'T LOOK AS BAD AS I THOUGHT. AFTER GETTING PREGNANT THE WEIGHT NEVER CAME BACK OFF. I LOVE GOING TO CURVES TO EXERCISE, SO HOPEFULLY THAT WILL HELP THE PROCESS GO A LITTLE FASTER AFTER I GET BANDED. JAMIE

Guess what?! I live in Sanger, and I am getting an appt. with Dr. Marsden in Lewisville, too!!! I am working on the 10 page form now, having letters written to the insurance company. My insurance will cover the surgery, if I qualify :rolleyes ...BMI 40 (estimate), joint pain, numerous failed attempts at weight loss, etc...I am 5'7" and weigh in the neighborhood of 280, so I have some serious weight to lose. I have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm kinda fond of walking, so must take off weight so I can prowl the parks at WDW again, without pain this time! Since you're a little ahead of me, would you mind being a bit of guide for me? You KNOW we both have that good ol' Texas hospitality! Let's "Git-R-Done!"

      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.
