I'm in the springs too. Just had bypass surgery in 7/23, then bowl obstruction surgery on 7/29 and the cherry on top now as of tonight I've seemed to contract plabitist with cellulitis where my last IV was placed! Woohoo! I'm actually looking for anyone who's going through this as well!

I never knew anyone responded to this. I guess I didn't sign up for notifications.

I've been looking for a support group or at least a couple friends that understand what I go through.

I'm not in Springs but in Pueblo. Colorado Springs seems the closest I can find though. I'd love to connect with others going through the WLS surgery adventure. I speak with my primary on Wednesday to start my journey.

I'll be 3 years out in November. I'd be more than happy to answer questions or meet up for coffee.

      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.
