Dallas area MALE sleevers Group



Recommended Posts

I'm interested in putting together a men's group to meet at least monthly. Nutritional support and just basic guy talk. The local coed groups are fine but I'm seeing and reading more and more guy sleeves who just need that " Band of Brothers" environment. Looking for a place for us to be honest and transparent, but intentional in our struggles as well as victories. I live in the Frisco area but am willing to travel (within reason). I am willing to bet we could get a NUT to join us as well. My preference is during the week after work. Weekends are difficult due to family time. Thoughts?

Hi. I'm up for a Dallas area support group. I'm down to just needing my primary care to write the approval letter then I wait for insurance approval. I was told I'm looking at early August for my procedure.

Ok. Hang tight and we'll see what kind of response we get. So far it's just the two of us. :-)

I am in the Wylie area and would like to join in on this group for sure! I am also willing to travel (within reason) as well. Evenings during the week are best for me as weekends can get hectic.

I would be interested as well. I'm hoping to get my final approval from insurance in the next couple of weeks. I'm both excited and nervous.

      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.
