I volunteered to lead or co-lead. I'm going to start looking for locations. I should be cleared to drive tomorrow. Do you have any suggestions?

Gixxergirl,

My only immediate idea would be my husbands school. However, that is in Mooresville, which might not be the most convenenient location for everyone. But we would always have access to it. Another plug for the school is he has a gym, weight room, etc....so if we ever wanted to do some sort of exercise demo....we would have that space available.

Depending on the size of our group, I am also willing to offer up my house. I have a large open kitchen, might be a good spot if we ever want to do a cooking demo or sample favoritte food finds.

I actually work in Rock Hill so Mooresville would be entirely too far unless we met on Saturday. I live in Charlotte so Mooresville wouldn't be too bad on a day off.

The school is closer to Davidson, right off 77 at exit 31. But no pressure to use that location. I just wanted to put it out there as a place we have easy access anytime we want.

Hello all!!! I will be sleeved July 14th!!! I am having my surgery done through carolinas weight management and wellness center. I live about 20min south of Charlotte.

As far as meeting places maybe we could meet at Freedom Park. Lots to do there. We could do a "walking group" or something! Just a thought!

That's a great idea because I've left messages at a few places. One said they already had a support group but we could join them. If we met at a park, Saturday mornings would be best for me because I work in Rock Hill until 530pm most days.

I was looking for a place to hold it but I've been admitted to the hospital like 3 more times since April with this last time being in July. I'm just getting back into the swing of things. I apologize for dropping the ball.

I pray you are feeling better. I am interested in a local support group. I live in Gastonia, and I will be having my surgery 9/12/14.

      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.
