Would anyone be interested in getting together for a monthly meet & greet? I'm in the Huntsville area & would love to start hosting an event so that we can have a local support system. Let me know if anyone is interested. Just a thought... :)

I am in Bham and had my surgery with Dr. Christopher at Shelby on April 23. Down 27 pounds! Finally healing and feeling better.

I am in Tuscaloosa, Al. I am talking to Shelby now about having surgery. I'm still in the process of getting all my info together. I haven't done a diet consecutively for six months but have other health problem that are well documented. Wondering if you know anything that can help me. Thanks

SuzieQ - I see we have the same surgeon. I am still in the pre-op stage of satisfying insurance requirements. I would love to get together sometime. I know there is a support group through the Drs office, but I am not a fan of formal things like that. I live in Madison.

      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.
