I run a secret group for autism professionals. Invitations must be sent to the facebook-email. I would only join if it was secret.

Would there be an interest in an additional SECRET group? I'd be happy to start one and honor requests received here.

Me, but if there's no interest that's fine, I'm good with posting here too :)

Thank you!

I hope your first day at Dr. T's went well :) I was planning on attending the July 12th meeting in East Greenbush, just wanted to be sure it was open to newbies? I'm also requesting to join the Facebook group. :)

Hi there all. I am new to this whole idea. One week ago- was in the back of my mind. I have my first nutrition appointment at AMC on July 29. I was told by my primary that I am a candidate for the surgery. I have been reading so much on line and feel like my head is spinning. Any help/support would be awesome! My husband is great- he has already said that he will support me in whatever decision I make. Right now- I am feeling if I am approved that I would have the sleeve surgery.

Are the support groups at AMC open to people who are not "officially" in the process yet? I would love to attend the E Greenbush ones (I live in Troy)- but work every Saturday.

How did you do?

Home now, doing ok. A little sore but feel pretty good overall. Just hope I can keep up on all the things I need to (water, taking temp, drain measurement, Rx's, walking, Protein etc) and taking care of my kids (who are very little!).

Thanks!

Capital Region buddies, I cooked too much puree in advance. I'm selling 2 oz portions. http://albany.craigslist.org/hab/4575973703.html Thanks.

Hey friends! Does anyone know how long Jello will keep in the fridge? My surgery is Wednesday so I wanted to make it ahead of time but want to be sure it will keep.

      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.
