Hi would you know of any support group in the North West of England around the Preston area?

Hi i'm a newbie to the site and am also from Lancashire, are you north or south Preston and have you managed to find a support group locally? as far as i'm aware the nearest one for me is in Manchester which is a little too far away. ps despite calling myself Slim JIm i'm actually female :-):faint:

Hi There,

sorry I was eager, jumped in and asked you without reading your past threads.

It was only afterwards I realised you have been having a hard time lately.

I wouldn't have bothred you if I had realised sooner.

Thanks for repling...

However Norfolk is too far for me, nevermind....I will look out for one myself, you just concentrate on you.

I am realising how great the support is on here too, makes me feel better even if there are no groups near me.

I am sorry to hear of your ordeal and I hope you are feeling better very soon.

I have to say... you have done great though, you look fantastic.

Despite everything you are going through your still finding the time to answer peoples questions.You are an inspiration,and I'm sure you will continue to loose without your band.

Take care H x

Hi

Hope you can help. I mentioned yesterday that I live near Guildford and wished to join a support group - I badly need it. Have the band but got the wrong attitude with FOOD! I just love it. My e-mail address is nicholas_suzy@tiscali.co.uk. (not underscored but in lower case).

Look forward to hearing from you

Labradoodle

Hi everyone, just to let you no, I am a co-ordinator for a wls support group here in the uk. I HAVE A LIST OF GROUPS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY. Please feel free to pm me, if you need details of a group near 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.
