Hello,

My name is Kelton May, I am a 29 year old male with a starting weight of 317lbs. and a goal of 225lbs. I had my surgery performed on Friday Jan. 9th 2009 by Dr. Chang in Victoria Tx. I am a Corpus Christi resident. I work for the Department of Defense, rebuilding crash damaged and battle damaged hellicopters for the Army, Navy, and the Airforce. I am a 8 year veteran of the US Navy and am super excited to have found this board. Looking forward to posting questions and hopfully answering a few as well.

Thanks again.

Kelly

I am from the CC area as well. I live in Aransas Pass and started seeing Dr McDaniel at Citizens Bariatric but then switched Doctors because of $$ and insurance issue. I was banded Nov 24th in McAllen and have lost about 30 pounds so far and I am loving my band. This is a great website that is full of info. Good Luck to you!!!!

Hello and congratulations on your band.

I live about an hour and a half south of Houston but will be banded in CC on Feb 3 with Dr. Griffin. I'm really excited but nervous all at the same time. I start my pre-op diet on Monday which isn't to bad. Just a low carb to no carb diet.

My starting wgt. is 271 which I hope to loose down to about 165-155 somewhere in that range.

Again congratulations. Tam

      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.
