Hey there, me and a couple other gals in the dfw area have started a support group. If u would like to join us on this journey please do so! I am being banded April 2 with Dr Adam Smith. Come join us!!

Thanks Terri It's only been a week since my fill and I followed my liquids and mushies instructions pretty close and have made a real effort to use the protein drinks and pay attention to the drinking while eating. I'm not perfect on that part by any means but I've got myself down to tiny sips. I'm sure it's mostly water weight but this week so far it's been 4 lbs gone. I use a toddler fork and spoon to help better gauge myself now that I'm onto other foods again. Im not very good with chopsticks but I'm going to break them out again this weekend. I find it makes me really work for it and slows me down a whole lot. When I first tried it I was eating cut up skinless hot dog bites (cut in fourths) and baked beans. I would get a single baked bean at a time on my chopstick. Lol. Needless to say, i didn't eat very many but I felt like I sure was lol. Hope y'all have a great weekend. It's so humid!!

It is humid!! I love using chop sticks!! Especially for sushi! That all sounds great!! Sounds like your starting right,,,You will find the protein shake work miracles!!

I just sent out an email to all of you, I think so far we have 5 girls and everyone's email addresses should be attached. Feel free to start whatever u would like! I just want to meet some people in my area going thru the same thing. )

count me in! I wanna play too!!

I was banded Jan. 27 and just moved to Frisco! Would love to be part of the group! Emilystrauss@yahoo.com

I don't know how I missed this question. Yes I did, guaduated in 87.

Ready to meet any where. I'm going stir crazy in my house. I'm getting out today with a driver so I am not going out long.

DFW banders! I read a book recently called 703: How I lost over 500 pounds and changed my life. It's written by a lady named Nancy Makin. She weighed over 700 pounds and lost over 500 of it. She DID NOT have any surgery of any kind. She did it all on her own. I have to say the book was captivating. It was one of those books I read in one read. Couldn't put it down. So you're asking what the point is. The point is that now she's a motivational speaker and she's coming to Waco to speak and do a book signing sometime in the near future. I do not know her personally but do know a friend of hers that she does a talk show with. I am not getting anything out of this. I just read the book and was totally inspired by her. If anyone is interested in a good read I picked up her book on Amazon for two dollars used. And if ya'll would be interested in coming to hear her speak let me know. I'll post the info! Hope I'm not overstepping...

Sorry for the really late reply, but I live in Garland and would love to join the support group! add my email please maria_reyes80@yahoo.com

I'll hook up with you folks when I move back to TX next year. Moving to Euless. Getting banded on 4/16 and excited.

In the bathtub, with coffee as it my daily routine, but thinking that will change for a.while.

I am a REALTOR so I can pretty much work things into my schedule, with some notice. So I would love to get together with everyone, if we ciuld come up with a fairly central location. We could all share one bowl of soup! LOL.

Please add me to your group. I work in Dallas and live just south of Dallas. I was banded 2/3/12. I will send you my email address.

YES! Had my pre-op appt this afternoon and I am first on the list in the morning!! I have to be there by 6am! I am hoping I can trust my 3 boys to get ready and off to school on time. I think I am more nervous about that than I am about the surgery itself.
