Looking forward to meeting all you folks who posted here...and those who post all over this forum as a matter of fact. There are quite a few of us from New York and the surrounding areas so I'm looking forward to a nice turnout on the 14th. See you then!

I got an e-mail from Bariatric Pal about a June 14th meeting in NYC, Third Avenue. I was interested in going. I tried sending an inquiry at the e-mail address in Lisa Caron's post (nyc.li.3s.bariatricpalgroup@gmail.com) and my inquiry was returned by my system administrator as undeliverable because the address didn't exist. Okay. So how do I find out about the meeting? Do I have to register for it, rsvp, or just show up?

Oh dear....we'll have to figure out what's up with the gmail address but in the meantime, just to let you know, there is no registering or RSVP required. Just feel free to show up Ilene. Looking forward to seeing you.

PS: the information is in post #44.

Hi all! I would love to help fellow bariatric pals by starting a support group meeting in Suffolk Long Island. I do go to one at Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip on Monday night at 7 and Tuesday afternoons at 2...they are wonderful for any surgery and any stage and the doctors of the practice welcome any and all even if they are not your surgeon. I have found this meeting and the people very kind and helpful. But message me if you guys in suffolk want to get together for a friday night or Saturday meeting and I can get something going. Thanks!

      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.
