Boise Support Group



Recommended Posts

Anyone in or around Boise coming to the support group meeting tomorrow night (Tues, the 14th)? Dawg and I will be there, and this time we do have the right night! LOL

For anyone interested, it's held in that white, domed, tent looking thing in St. Al's parking lot behind the hospital. You can see it from the connector as you drive by. If you are coming from Emerald, turn north on Hartman. You can't miss the tent. There are no bathrooms inside, you have to go to the building nearby. The meeting is from 7:00pm to 8:30pm. We sure would love to meet some Idahoans! :)

      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.
