Here you go!!! There is one more, it's an informal group that a Forest Park Medical Center patient got started....for anybody, and it's on Saturday. I'm actually attending ALL of these groups, they're fun, informative and I really am a big believer in attending!! The Saturday one was meeting on the fourth Sat or the month, but I think we are switching to the third Saturday....we've been meeting at 12:30 at Season's 52, a great restaurant that has fresh food, and all meals are 475 calories or less. If you are interested, send me a message with your emal address and I'll get Kevin to add you to the email list! Medical Center Plano meetings are..... 2nd & 4th Thursday - Monthly - 6:00 p.m.

I live south of Dallas. My surgery is scheduled for June 24th :-)

I'm excited to have a new start, but yet a little anxious about all the details of what all I have to do right after surgery and all. But I have a great Dr. with a very supportive staff.

Blessings,

Lisa

      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.
