Also, I have Dr. Reilly. I've "heard" he's good, but have any of you actually used him?

God help me' date=' I've started the two week pre-op diet today. Any suggestions on how to fight the hunger and cravings?[/quote']

What helped me was adding frozen fruit to my Protein shake. The ONLY Protein shakes I like are the True Results brand. U can get it at their locations. No aftertaste . Are u on strictly liquids . I did 2 Protein shakes and a meal. Which was Protein and vegetables .

Yes, I'm on two shakes and a meal. I thought I would just use the Atkins frozen meals since they are only meat and veggies. I didn't know I could add fruit to the shake. I'll try that tomorrow (just had my lunch shake). Thanks!!

Great, I feel better knowing that someone else was happy with him. I haven't met him yet. Have an appointment to meet him on Aug 5th. My surgery is Aug 8th.

I will swing the true results office on my lunch hour tomorrow and pick up a few of their shakes and see if I like them better. I need to get the liquid vitamins too.

I just bought the liquid Vitamins from Walgreens . The chocolate is really good! I may use one pack of Truvia to sweeten it. Natural sweetener with no calories

Happy Saturday!!! How is everyone feeling? Let us know how you are doing? I'm here to support because I know I need it... What's working what's not working?

I have to get my menus together to make sure I'm getting my Protein in. Thats one struggle. Pretty much keeping low carb some. But I'm working out everyday and loving it. For the last 2 days after my fill I noticed I was full and it lasted for like 4 hours. I'm on mushies today. I've been doing my fitness pal and staying under my 1000 calories especially with the exercise.

I would love for us to do a meet and greet for all of the Houston Bandsters. I would like for us to do something that we couldn't do before the band (hiking,zipling,swimming,shopping, etc) . Ideas are welcomed. Whose interested ?

I did all of that before the band, but I had to huff and puff my way through it. Can't wait to lose some weight and be able to really enjoy hiking, zipline, etc.

Good news! my surgery was just moved up to Monday, August 5th!! Excited and Nervous.

Good afternoon all. I was actually scheduled to go in on Thursday but my work schedule changed so I called this morn to see if they could work me in. Surprisingly they did so I received my last and final fill I hope for a long time. .2ccs which brought me up to 7cc in my 10cc band. I just have to focus on maintaining and if I lose more then that's a plus. Good luck to the rest of you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
