Yeah! Support in St. Louis! I'm attending my first support group through BJC pre-op on Monday. I went to the NP on Thursday and MAN there is sooo much stuff I have to do. I have to have a 6 month document diet from dietitician-but that's okay because I didn't want to have the surgery until this summer when I get more time off work! Labs, psych evaluation, ekg! UGH!

Wow terosiamoore-just Wednesday you were sleeved?!! Congratulations!!! I live in Ucity too-and I love it!! How are you feeling?

I am feeling fine but I get full really quickly! I don't have very much of an appetite either! My struggle is this clear liquid diet. But next week I can have pudding - sugar free of course, but pudding, grits, oatmeal and cream of wheat! Yummy! I'm pretty sick of Popsicles and Jello, bleh. Not a lot of pain though! I would love to have someone to start walking with though if you and some others are interested. I live close to Heman Park.

That would be awesome Septemberslimmer! I live across from Heman too and looking for a workout buddy- I see my dietician to start my 6 months supervision on Dec 29- so I'm going to need help staying dedicated! Let's say we plan a meet after the holiday!

      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.
