Looking for Orange County Calif. Fifties to start new support group!



Recommended Posts

Any 50's living in Orange County California, I'm looking to start a new support group. I think it would be great to just hang out, talk and share our New Lifes! :D Or go for a walk, have a laugh or two or what ever. It's so much easier to talk to people that have been though this. Sure you can talk to a friend but if ther not going through this, it's hard for them to relate, as much as you want them to.

SOOOOO how about 50's ?? :rolleyes:

I live in Riverside but go to Orange County often. Depending on the "when" I would be up to come. Teri

Hi OC 50's,

I'm 54 years old, living in Irvine. I'm scheduled to be sleeved at Fountain Valley Hospital on June 2. I will be going through surgery and recovery utterly alone. Once I'm able to drive again, I would love to share our lifetime journeys. Please send me a private message and we'll exchange phone numbers and addresses or meet beforehand. I would love your encouragement and support!

Ang

I am in Long Beach, just on the other side of the Orange Curtain. Count me in, please. My surgery hasn't happened yet. Pls. PM me so we can exchange info. I have a supportive DH and a couple of friends who know but am fairly alone.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
