Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

Hey I am a 20 yr old college student, I live in west chicago suburbs, and I am looking for other people to meet and get to know who are going through this journey as well. Emails, txts, Facebook, maybe even to meet up! I am so excited to have my surgery and would love to meet someone who wants to share stores.

:-D

hey yes! lets get a group started! i live in forest park so u r not that far from me!

I know Forest Park! I grew up 5 min away in Oak Park where my parents live and in fact will be in that area today! I have an appointment with Dr. Teisenga, who was my surgeon and works at West Lake Hospital and has his own little office on Harlem too.

Maybe we should meet at the support group that will be on the 18th of July? I am trying to find out where, but I am assuming that it will be at West Lake Hospital on Lake St.

Let me know if you can make that date. It's a Monday. Maybe others will see this on here and want to join or I can ask people at the support group too if they want to join. It will be my first time going, so I'm a little nervous.

There is a place in Oak Park called The Buzz Cafe...Maybe we could all meet somewhere like that or similar. Any ideas?

Ok sounds great! I wouldn't mind talking about our Dr. T experiences too..mine hasn't been very good and found a forum with other Dr. T patients too who feel they had the exact same experiences as me, as me with them.

Keep me posted on when you are free through email on here and I will work on getting the word out through the forums for people who want to start meeting up in Oak Park.

Maybe once a month?...

Yea, I would like to talk about Dr. T as well. My experience has been so so. But yes, I will email you when I get back to town. Once a month is good, I really want to meet people who are going through this as well so we can benefit from each other.

See you soon!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
