Hi all,

I'm in the north Seattle area, and although I'm not much of a group oriented person, I love a good talk and chuckle :) Since the last post was in October should I assume the group is still getting together? Bothell isn't too far and I'd love to meet up. I haven't had surgery yet, but will in late December/early January. I'm 58, but young at heart (hehe).

Look forward to seeing you there! Yes we are still meeting. The only thing I works say is that parking can be a but tricky but there is a post office across the street that is closed on Sundays.

I'm wondering if anyone from the Seattle area is planning to attend the Obesity Action Coalition's annual conference in San Antonio TX this summer? I've made my reservations, now I'm just waiting for their registration to open. Looks like a great educational opportunity. http://www.ywmconvention.com/

@@Evie Wi,

I don't know anyone looking to go but it would be a great service to our community if you wanted to report back at one of the area meetings, specifically the one I run in Bothel upon your return. Give it some thought.

Hi all Seattle Sleevers! I plan on making the meet up in Bothell on Sunday. Had my sleeve surgery on Feb 19th and would enjoy meeting others in the area! See you there! How will I be able to identify the group? Or do you usually sit somewhere in particular?

      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.
