I would like to have a buddy too. I had VSG surgery done at UNC 12/16. My recovery has been steady. I live in Chapel Hill. Tell me about yourself.

I am still Pre-Op. Doing the last step (psych eval) today before waiting for insurance to approve. I work in the Chapel Hill area. Do you go to any of the Meetup groups in the area? If so, I'm going to try to attend the one on 1/7/12 w/ One Step @ a time. Keep in touch.

it is 8 months now since you posted this. But I was wondering if you are still living in cary. I just moved to cary too and looking for support groups or weight management centers. If you can help me in anyway it will be great. Thank you in advance

Hi and Welcome! I'm still in Cary. I'm doing great I have about twenty more pounds to goal and have lost over sixty now. I never did find a local support group though I do think there are some around here. I have found the support of the board here and my family has been good. Feel free to message me if you want any advice on the area, drs hair dressers or whatever. I love it here! Where did you move from?

      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.
