Live in WA - near Puget Sound? Want to join a support group?



Recommended Posts

I have been attending this group for several months & have found it to be a great group. :thumbup1:

If you live in the Puget Sound area of Washington, we'd love for you to come join us. (Our regular facilitator is on vacation this week, so I am leading the group. Normally, our conversations go off in many different tangents, but our main topic will be surviving the 4th of July BBQ's and making healthy choices.)

YOU ARE INVITED!

Monthly Support Group for patients interested in a positive, safe environment to discuss issues, ask questions, share stories, and Celebrate victories with weight loss surgery (all types welcome). Whether you are a current patient, are scheduled for surgery, or are just gathering information about weight-loss surgery then this is the place for you!

Important Details:

First Thursday of each month

6:30-8 pm

Grandview Village *

5800 64th ST NE (near the Marysville YMCA)

Marysville WA 98270

*when you enter the lobby the staff will direct you to the meeting room

Hi, I live in Marysville and am planning on being sleeved this coming spring by Dr. Billing in Edmonds. I know there is a support group at Swedish Edmonds in the cafeteria, but is the one in Marysville still happening? I would love to attend.

      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.
