Exciting News For The Norcal Group



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! We'd really love to see this group take off. It has been far too quiet!! We need to get ourselves situated with face to face meet ups for our areas. :)

There are two new moderators for our personal group.

That is FeedYourEye for the Sacramento/Valley areas and MeggieP for the Bay Area.

Lets start conversing and getting some support group dates set up.

Looking for ideas!!

Hi guys and gals! It is really fun and informative to meet up in person with others in your area that have also had the sleeve done, or are thinking about it. If you don't have a support group attached to your medical center, or could use some more face time with real people who understand where you are coming from, lets get together here in our own NorCal VSG Support Group, and plan on meeting up in person for coffee or a walk or whatever you like in the future. Post events in your area that others might enjoy, or plan your own event. Lets start by getting to know each other better here and go from there! Cheers, Kim (Feedyoureye)

I think this is a great idea. Are we able to poll or get statistics of where everyone is and what would be a central location for most of us?

Sacramento here! I could meet in Davis, Sac, Folsom, The closer to Sac the better chance I will come.

I live in Santa Cruz, which is really more Central Cal than NorCal. That being said, I'm open to coming up to San Fran, Peninsula or East Bay areas. I could totally do Sac area if we can combine it with one of our trips to see family in Tahoe. :)

      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.
