Hey! So I'm currently studying abroad in London and will be coming home (to Boston) for spring break to have my surgery. I'm having a hard time finding support groups I can attend with my busy schedule. I was wondering if any iPhone (or iPod, iPad) users wanted to be iMessage buddies? Basically you can text any iOS device anywhere for free! I think it will be cool to try.. Please let me know! <3

I'm a texting nut... I have a iPhone

Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I don't think it matters what type of phone we have as long as we all have a texting program. I text a lot of people who have iphones.

I am just not sure you all want to be texting the grandma of the bunch. In my defense I am young at heart.

Sure sounds get to me. Text, message or email! I need some friends that are going though this. My husband tries, but he doesn't really understand it all.

      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.
