Looking for local mi support :)

I'm in Michigan I had my sleeve done November 26, 2012! I have been hoping to find "local" support. I am learning how to use this app also. How are you doing with everything?

Hi my name is Jamie, I had a FANTASTIC Dr, her name is Dr. Karen McFarlane in Port Huron, Mi. I had my surgery on 11-26-12. I feel great and I am excited to find a Michigan section just to know there are other people that have this procedure out there is great. So many people are so secretive around here. It's personal, I know but it would be nice to problem solve with someone else that's had this procedure. Looking forward to talking to some of you! :)

I was sleeved in July with Dr. Pop (Poplawski) at Barix in Ypsilanti. He is awesome. I live near Ann Arbor, and just today reached a BMI in the normal range weighing in at 145 from 218 at my highest before surgery, My personal goal is 130-135.

I would love to have a local sleeve buddy!

I'm doing well! 13 days out - first weigh in is Wednesday! Erica is great - she is not my post sleeve NUT, but I have sought her advice before regarding nutrition. She is very knowledgable!

      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.
