Hello Bariatric Pal Community!

A friendly reminder that today is your last chance to RSVP for the next meeting of the SF/Bay Area WLS Support Group.

Date: Saturday, March 1st
Time: 10:00am - 11:30am

Location: James Flood Building

As always, we will have an open forum to discuss anything and everything WLS related. Additionally, this month we will be joined by special guest, Laura Scherling, RD, a dietitian with the Community Health Resource Center at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC).

Laura has extensive experience in bariatric nutrition and a wealth of experience helping clients manage dietary complications from a wide range of health issues. She also has specific training and expertise in treating chronic dieting, emotional eating and childhood weight management. Laura's approach to nutritional counseling centers on a non-dieting philosophy.

Laura will be speaking about bariatric meal planning and creating a bariatric-friendly shopping list. She will be also be available to answer any nutrition related questions!

Please note that our group is not affiliated with any doctor or surgical program and is open to everyone. It is moderated by Tara Griffith, MFT, a licensed psychotherapist with a specialization in bariatric surgery and disordered eating. RSVP is required to attend.

      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.
