I would be interested in starting or participating in a Local Chapter. This site has been very helpful to me and I want to share it with others. I have attended a couple of meetings hosted by my doctor's office but I would like to expand the reach. I am self-employed and have a flexible schedule. As the current President of my local Blue Star Mothers Chapter, I have experience in holding meetings. Also, with being a military mom, I know the importance of support with individuals who are in the same situation, no one understands unless they are going through the same thing.

I have been successful so far in my 4 months since surgery and would like to help others to prepare for surgery and progress post-surgery. Let me know if you need anything else from me.

      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.
