Boise June Events

St. Al's Support Group Meeting

June 13th, Tuesday 7:00 - 8:30pm

The meeting is held in the white "tent" building behind St. Al's

The group is led by two psychologists and usually has about 30 participants (waiting to be banded or banded). The first 1/2 hour is focused on those waiting to be banded, giving time for questions. The remainder of the evening is open discussion for all.

IdahoBandsters Soup Night

June 22nd, Thursday 6:30pm

This month the IdahoBandsters are planning something a bit different and sure to be a lot of fun.

Jackie Watts is donating an evening in her ceramic studio and will be providing mugs for us to paint while we eat. I don't think it's been decided on whether everyone should bring their own food, or if we'll do a potluck. I'll let you know when that's settled.

Jackie's studio, Artist for a Day, is located in the Edwards Cinema Complex, where Overland Rd. crosses the freeway. See you there!

      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.
