I was sleeved on 3/6/14. I have had a great experience but I know I need some support. What are you willing to pay for a personal trainer?

I was sleeved July 30, 2013. I've also had a great experience. I have excellent support from my family and these boards are great, but it would be nice to actually talk to someone who has been there. How much is the personal trainer? I can pay as long as it's not too expensive :-)

yes-does anyone know the average cost of a trainer?

Anyone know of any North Metro support groups that are open? Was sleeved at PN, but getting to St Louis Park during rush hour to make a 5:30 meeting isnt doable for me.

But I would still like to find a support group up here in the north somewhere.

If anyone can point me out somewhere that'd be awesome.

Thanks.

I think the best bet for most people would be a weekend. Usually I would say Saturday morning, but I have some unusual Saturday morning trainings a few times in May.

If we want to do during the week, I vote for Monday or Tuesday evening.

I would be interested however I do not belong to a Y, would that be a problem

I would assume so for the trainer. The Y is not too pricy if your thinking about joining a gym, plus most insurances will give a discount for going a certain number of times.

We did talk about meet for support too. No gym membership required for that one :-)

The nearest Y to me is like 30 min away! I would meet for support groups. My clinic also offers support groups as well.

Friday after 4:30 would be good. Any news on cost from the trainer?

Hello Minnesota! I was sleeved in November 2012, I am in maintenance. Had Dr Svendson at Methodist, and am so happy to have had the sleeve. I live in the north metro and am looking for others that eat like me. :)

      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.
