There is a support group that meets at Penrose Main Hosp. I'll see if I can find a link for you.

Is this current info?

I don't know if all the info is the same, but it would be worth calling to see about it if you want to go to the meetings. I'm pretty sure they still have them at Penrose main.

Hey Ruffcat,

How are you doing now? Are you feeling any better? Did you try the support groups?

Penrose seems to have the main support group I can find. I'm pre op waiting on my last appt before scheduling the big day. I would love to find fellow bandsters so I have the support. My family is supportive, but they really have no clue what I'm going through. Most of the people I met at classes were going either for sleeve or gastric. Let me know if you find anything!

      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.
