  • I WISH WHERE I LIVED WE HAD A SUPPORT GROUP

where do you live? One of the drs I went to a seminar on sounded like he had a great one but I am going with another dr. but wish he had a good one. Maybe you could start one? I'm in Utah and would have no idea how to start something like that lol but would love it if someone did!

OMG it's true mashed potatoes are my go to food when eating out, and I crave them at home... don't have them but once or twice a week but when I want comfort food it is mashed potatoes , or mac and cheese true 4 oz is enough but I do not want to ever get hung up on a certain food again any body else have the mashed potatoe thing going on???????????????

I have a question, has your dr. or anyone else's given them specific foods they can't ever have again? I figure junk food and soda etc will be no-nos but what about "regular" foods? My one banded friend can't seem to eat any bread, Pasta, etc. at all or she gets plugged...

      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.
