I just got the date--it is June 6th at 6pm. The plan is to have a support group picnic. People can pretty much bring what they want--those of us at the last meeting signed up to bring things specifically but anyone can come and eat. It probably will be less formal (not that we are usually THAT formal anyway). I'll be happy to connect you with the coordinator if you'd like to ask her any questions ahead of time :)

Wow, I didn't realize there would be stitches to take out. Glad you are feeling better. Do you feel the surgery was pretty easy?

I have a few stitches over my port site and each lap site has a stitch, nothing major. Surgery went well. The first few days at home were rough. I'm a single mom and had to keep active after my kids but all in all it wasn't bad. Not eating has been the hardest part! It'll all be worth it tho! I'll be happy and healthier for my babes!

Glad to hear you are doing well. That is rough to not have any help at home afterwards :huh:

Glad things are looking up and you are recovering well. I hope to be shortly behind you. My paperwork was submitted to insurance this past Wed. They said we should hear something in two weeks.

Did you ever get super nervous before.....like if this was the right decision or not? I have faced that here and there and going through it again BLAH!!!

      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.
