Recommended Posts

I can't wait to read about your journey along the way.

I am currently doing lots of research and checking reviews on all centers of excellents in the area, Dr. Reviews, who has what pre-op requirements and levels of post op support. I see a few seminars in my future. ")

Seattle gal here. My sleeve surgery is 12/23 with Dr. Elias Ortiz in TJ. I do not qualify for insurance - not sick enough! I would love to connect with other locals over coffee or Water (I hear drinking water is muy important!). I am looking forward to the surgery, not too nervous. Talk soon, Anna

Hi All! I had my sleeve surgery in June of this year (2013) in Spokane w Dr. Bright. I now live in Western Washington on the Kitsap Peninsula. Anyone know of support groups in western Wash? I'm only 6 mos in and haven't been to a support group since August because I live West now. I really could use a support group or counselor in the area...as I am struggling w my eating. I've actually considered joining weight watchers for the support part. I've found that I can eat way more than I thought I could...so any suggestions for support groups would be great. Thanks!

      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.
