Anyone From Buffalo, Ny Out There?



Recommended Posts

How's all of our buffalo friends doing? I'm five weeks out and 33lb down with the pre op diet. I feel like a slow loser. But some weeks I lose a few pounds. Some weeks I hand and some I lose a pound

33 is good everyone loses at a different rate.

Hi out their! I'm from Amherst, my I'm 4days out, I had the sleeve on sat the 12th, I'm still sore and a little dizzy. I would love to go to a support group around here any ideas? I'm already down 20lb starting from the two week pre op diet. My husband is so proud of me. I was also wondering did anyone eat baby food after the first week? What kind did u buy?

Who did your surgery? My surgeon did not allow baby food, never asked why, but they were pretty adamant it wasn't allowed. I had my surgery by Dr Posner at buffalo general and I know there is a support group tonight, but you have to be a patient there.

I go to monthly meetings at my Surgeons office. I live in Cheektowaga. As for baby food I bought whatever was on sale. I also blended my own food a little.

Its crazy how we all lose at different rates. I try not to get discouraged. I am about 5wk out and my scars look ok. I think maybe next year they'll be pretty faded. I am 2hr away so don't attend any support groups.

      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.
