Hello there Scottish peeps,

I thought I'd just post to let you know there there is a WLS support group held the last Saturday in EVERY month in Glasgow. I'm one of the organisers - so your in safe hands! lol.

It's in Gartnavel General Hospital on the Great Western Road in Glasgow.

It's held from 1:30 - 3:30pm, in the boardroom (on the admin corridor).

Even if your not Scottish but are in the area, look us up!!!

Hi.

I am going to see Mr Galloway on the 16th of June at the Nuffield in Glasgow. I stay in Crieff so I think the support group would be difficult for me. You have lost a lot of weight. So reassuring to know it can work. I am 20 stone and would love to get down to around 12. Seems an impossible goal at the moment. Would love to hear back from you about why you picked Mr Galloway.

Hello there

I was done on the NHS by Mr Galloway. I see him often & infact nominated him recently for an award. He's a smashing fella and I would go to him again.

Just make sure you get your aftercare sorted before you sign anything. Mr Galloway is good, but the nuffield are a money making unit!

It's a pity you can't make the meets. There's a lassie who comes down from Aberdeen to the meets every month and finds it really rewarding!

I'll PM you the details

      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.
