How are you guys doing? I'm good. 3 month post op. I've lost about 35lbs. I've had some interesting little issues. Nothing major. Mostly just me getting used to the band. Would love to have some locals to chat with.

Sounding like there are a few of us in the South Bayish area I am open to trying to meet to be with others on this band journey. Except for this forum, I only have one other friend who had the sleeve surgery. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know of the SF/Bay Area WLS Support Group! We meet on the first Saturday of the month in downtown San Francisco. The group is open to everyone (any surgery, any surgeon) and is moderated by me (a licensed therapist & wellness coach with a specialization in WLS).

Feel free to contact me at taragriffithmft@gmail.com if you'd like more information. Eventually, I hope to get our a group listed on Bariatric Pal (but I'm not quite there yet... a work in progress!!)

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Tara

      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.
