Goldsboro here. Had RNY Jan 28, 2014 in Durham. Looking for support group(s) to attend.

Hope you are doing well. Had my surgery 9/7/2012 at Rex. Started process at 220 and now 116 to 118. Not easy, but well worth it! I live about 35 miles from Goldsboro and go there fairly often.

Hi everyone!

I'm in Wilmington. I just got the referral from my PCP and I'm waiting to hear from the surgeon to schedule my first appointment with him. I love these forums!

Wishing you all the best!

I'm from Fayetteville NC, is there anyone or group that meets up to exercise? I just had my surgery in May and I am looking to join a group that will help motive me by meeting at least several times a week. This is the first time I've been on here and I'm very excited that my doctor told me about this site. She is awesome! Thank you.

      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.
