With the Protein Shake I am great I was only laid up for 4 days after surgery I had it on Memorial day weekend so I wasn't out of work much I work in the kitchen at the high school so it wasn't bad the only problem I had was the pants around my stomach

I really wish my doctor had stressed how important it is to have support from other people going through the same thing. My nutritionist does a support group, but it's once a month and all the way at Chilton Memorial Hospital in NJ. I miss the whole Weight Watchers weekly meeting...not only the weekly weigh-ins, but the interaction with other members and exchange of tips and recipes. But I don't think I would get anything from the meetings anymore. Their members have a different set of challenges than we do. Up until a week or so ago when I started checking in on LBT more frequently, I kind of felt lost and alone. Did anyone else feel this way after surgery?

It's normal to be scared I could tell you that you will be fine but its still in the back of your head. I was sore the first 2 days but not unbearable I also didn't take the pain kills they game me because I am sensitive to meds who is your doctor again?

Hey there. How is everyone doing? Has anyone been to the bariatric support group at Good Sam? I was thinking about going, but wanted to know if anyone's been there and got anything out of it.

Also, does anyone know of a therapist in the area that kind of specializes in WLS surgery patients?

My doctor's support group is at Chilton Memorial in NJ which is pretty far for me. Do people who had surgery with other doctors go to your support group? I'm not sure how this works.

      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?

      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.
