Hello all! I am currently wanting to gnaw on my shoe with the pre-op diet! 5 more days until surgery, and I only made this decision a month ago! I hope I learned everything I could. Do you guys go to meetings?

No meetings here (I'm living in Kuwait at the moment) so that is why I turn to online groups for support. Do youhave a local meeting you go to?

Shoe gnawing is very low cal but limited pretein. LOL I was required to attend at least two meetings pre-op and I found them to be terrific. There were probably 40 to 50 folks at each meeting including pre-ops and post-ops with some as far as four years post-op. Great place to get answers to any question you could possibly have (that you don't mind asking in a public environment). Also very motivational to hear (and see) all of the success stories. I did not continue attending the meetings post-op but I have often thought of going back and sharing my own story with those preparing for the journey. Definitely have to do that soon. I'd recommend that you attend at least one or two meetings. Tons of nice people and everyone has at least one thing in common!!

I didn't go to any meetings. It wasn't require. I also have a great relationship with my doctor. All I have to do is ask for something,and he finds a way to help me or get referral anything to please me.
