Hi, I am looking for local Charlotte folks that would like to start a support group or would like to get together to walk and talk. I am 11 days post-op as of today, 8/11/12. I am just looking for others like me that are trying to get their health back on track.

I am new to all of this so if you have any suggestions that would be great. I have talked to a few other Chralotte people on here. I guess the best way to start is to find out the area everyone lives in, get names and numbers and find a good place to meet up. I believe we can send private msgs to multiple people to work this out.

BeachGirl, I just got back from my 2 week post-op with my NUT and am down 20 lbs. I am very excited.

Chuckles, I spoke with a lady that can only meet on the weekends also. Let's all talk and figure this thing out..

      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.
