Any Utahns around

Just wondering if anybody ever visits this forum. tj

Everyonce in awhile. This board is usually quiet. But I'm here now. Tammy Clinton, Ut

yep!!! I'm actually looking for more people that have had the surgery to chat with. Especially men. I'm self paying for the lapband. Curious to know what was the hardest habit to break and also the easiest. Curious to know how much water you can drink and how fast it empties the stomach. If you get a second to respond sure would appreciate it. Thanks Andre Smit

Chat away. You may want to come check out the men's message board. You can find it at http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/amosforums/men/. I had the Lap RNY. Biggest thing I continually need to work on changing is head hunger. I found myself really stressed over the last couple of days, and I really wanted to eat. With the RNY (I'm 7 months out), I can drink about a cup of water in one sitting, with about 15 minutes between "sittings". tj

Well, I'm not a guy but I do have the band... The hardest habit to break was NOT DRINKING WITH MY MEALS. The easiest was giving up soda and anything else that makes me throw up. I'm not a huge water drinker (I know, bad bandster!) but I can drink about 12 oz of sugar free whatever about an hour before I eat my meal and I don't get hungry again until 3-4 hours after eating. I don't drink anything again until at least an hour after my meal either. Check out the lapband board to if you get a chance. Hope this helps somewhat. Tammy

Hi there guys. Just checking things out!

Hi TJ!! It is pretty quiet around. I forget about the Utah message board. I wish there was more action.. Merry Christmas!!! Jenni

I am a lurker most of the time. I have not visited the board in a long time. I had open RNY in October 2004. I have had some problems but not really related to the surgery. I have lost 142lbs and I am worried about losing too much weight at this point. I am never hungry and stress at work has made things worse. I now weigh 120lbs and I am 5'9 1/2" tall. I am wearing a size 6 which is loose. I had my surgery through the WISH Center when it was still the WISH Center. I am glad to see some others chatting on this board that are from Utah. Hope to talk to some you again. Lori

Hi, I am not a Utahn but I live in Provo and would like to know if there are any support groups around here. Marta
