Can someone post a link or information regarding support groups in the Charlotte area? I'm being sleeved on Oct 15th & will be in the Belmont area from Fri Oct 12 through probably Fri Oct 26th & would love to meet some other sleevers in the area while I'm in town.

Thanks!

I have the Presbyterian Bariatric Network Support Group info: Meets every 3rd Monday of each month, 6:30pm at Presbyterian Hospital Charlotte (Center Court/Bobcat Room); Every 4th Wednesday of each month @ Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville (Physicians Buildin-Community Classroom main floor); Every 4th Monday of each month @ Presbyterian Hospital Matthews (Community Rooms A or C).

Then I have info for Southeast Bariatrics Support Groups meeting 2nd Monday of every month @ The Cornwell Center @ Myers Park Baptist Church 6:30pm.

I am not sure if these are supposed to be for Presby patients or Southeast Bariatric patients only or not. There is a number to call for the Presby ones: 704-316-8000 and for the Southeast Bariatric one: 704-316-7760

      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.
