I'm doing bypass and haven't had surgery yet, but I am looking for an exercise partner.

I am Sherry, in New Orleans area. I had my surgery in 2013. So far I have lost 113 pounds and slowly still dropping. (too slowly in my opinion)

I am interested though for me, Baton Rouge is a bit far.

I am an Ochsner New Orleans surgery patient with Dr. Richardson.

It is very little about the surgery (for me) at this point, more about nutrition and exercise.

My life has totally changed for the positive since I did my sleeve and I wish I had done it years ago!

(the two weeks preop was the worst btw!)

We can make this chapter active!!

Is there an interest? We can always get together and go walk and maybe go to coffee afterwards and try to support each other.

I am up for it

Let me know!!

I'm in New Orleans and would be interested in meeting to walk/exercise. My sleeve was created by James Woolridge at Ochsner in 2012. Slow process but I believe I have perfected maintaining but need to get back on the loosing side of the sleeve.

Does anyone here live in North Louisiana? I'm in Ruston, and I think it would be the perfect halfway point for Shreveport and Monroe sleevers.

      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.
