Hi Ash!

I would love to be friends. I just stumbled across this site and it's the best ever. I am less than 3 weeks out to my surgery date. It would be great to be friends with someone to share ideas, questions, advice or just to check up on each other. Look forward to hearing from you!

Sondra:)

Hi Sondra - just saw your post - we are all about the same time - maybe we could get a small group setup and work together and not necessarily all the 1000's of people out here. lol

Hi Ash & All the Folks Who Responded,

This is WeeWers. I posted a while ago for a buddy and got 2 lovely replies. It seems your post is coming together to form it's own sub-group within this forum. I would *very* much like to be part of this group -- but I don't know how to go about it.

I'm 5-6 and weigh about 300 pounds. If all goes well I'm looking at a June surgery. This forum is soooooooooo big that I think it would be very difficult to make friends here. Hence, why I'm interested in the group. I'm home-bound and do not have friends outside of my husband. Do you think you could keep me updated as to being part of the group. Is the main focus of the group for folks who are sleeved in May & June? If not, is there another focus -- or just being buddies -- which is good enough for me!

Take care all,

WeeWers

So is there anyway we can all communicate as a group?

nope just forums, its not set up like Facebook to where your friends have a wall to post...it does alert you when someone whose friends with you changes their status, but no group chats besides the instant messagener at the bottom

of the screen

      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.
