BARIATRIC PAL COMMUNITY SUPPORT GROUP

First Saturday of Every Month, 9:30-11:00 AM

***NEXT SUPPORT GROUP IS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 9:30-11:00 AM***

Hi BariatricPal Pals!

We're celebrating our Super September Group!!!

I am DELIGHTED that we were almost 30 STRONG. As you know, our Agenda had been planned based on 15 RSVPs, so of course that meant several of you did not have an opportunity to share what may have been very important for YOU. We have a great new plan for October's Group to better accommodate our exciting growth, so that everyone who wants to speak can do so. Please bear with us--thank you!

October's Mini-Topic of the Month will be:

Self-Care Tips & Tricks: Taming That S-T-R-E-S-S Monster!

You can help A LOT to keep our support group productive and powerful by

PLEASE RSVPing if you are coming, NO LATER THAN THURSDAY night, OCTOBER 2 TO:

From the 60 Fwy, take the Vineyard Ave exit. The Medical Center is on Vineyard Ave, just north of the 60 Fwy (NE corner Vineyard Exit & 60 Fwy). When you enter the short driveway from Vineyard Ave, you'll see a tall building just to your left. That is Building A. There will be ample parking in the lot in front of the building. Enter the building's double doors and you will see a large receptionist area. The elevators are just to your right of the receptionist area. (DO NOT CHECK IN at the reception desk; proceed directly to 3rd floor.)

Hi washda,

Appreciate your letting me know. Hope you can save the dates for Nov & Dec--we all need that little extra self-care time JUST FOR US during these upcoming busy months. Saturday Nov 1 and Dec 6. Take care.

Just wanted to give an update. Surgery went well, approx. 2 hours. I had to wait a long time in recovery until my room was ready. The pain is not bad at all. The dry mouth is pretty bad. Luckily I followed suggestions and brought dry mouth rinse. Hopefully I will be able to drive by the time of our next meeting.

      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.
