Looking for a buddy in Kingston



Recommended Posts

I am in the pre pre stages of lap band I have to see my regular physcian and I am sure that she will say yes to the procdure and a week later I see Dr.Artuso for my first consultation. And I am looking for anyone who is willing to answer my questions as I have many. I have ordered a book that I am sure will help me. Thank you.

I'm in Poughkeepsie....in the beginning stages again. I'm having a tough time finding support groups in the area, do you know of any up there? I went to my seminar in Westchester, I believe the doctors down there are more experienced in bariatric surgery.

Tri-state bariatrics in middletown. Great organization and less than an hour from poughkeepsie. I live in Catskill and drive the distance because of all their services. Support groups, diet folks and psychologists.

Saint Francis offers monthly support groups. Call the hospital and ask for nancy case - nutritionist that does the group. You could also ask for dr Artuso's office for the next meeting.

      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.
