DFW support group



Recommended Posts

Would like to get a group going in the Arlington area. There's a coffees shop off of 20 and Collins. Was thinking we could meet once a month and talk about things that are important to us and our success. Let me know if you're interested. Would really like to get this going.

Sure. I'm hoping its safe to assume it should be an evening meeting. So how about last Thursday of the month at 6:30? Would that work for you all. We can start this month. So that gives us approx. two weeks til the first meeting? I can check with that coffee shop on s. Collins and see if that's a good time to meet.

Hey RN

I googled coffee shops on Collins and didn't find one. There's are some on Matlock though, did you mean one of those?

It's called mochalux. It sits on the corner of bardin and south Collins. So it may have a bardin address. It's right off 20 in a little strip that's behind a chicken express I think. I called today. They said it Shldnt be a problem to meet there, but if its more than 10ppl there may be a fee. The manager wasn't there to tell me the details for sure. I will call back tomorrow.

      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.
