Anyone in St Louis, Missouri!

Do you attend support group meetings? If so, which group? Do you find them helpful?

I live in STL. I had my surgery on Oct 9th and so far have no attended the support groups. I am confused on what to eat because I went through True Results for approval and then attended My New Self nutrition program. They are very different on the foods you can eat. I'm very confused right now. Let me know if you find a support group that helps. I feel like I've hit a wall and have not had much loss in the past 2 weeks. Thanks!

I had RNY in July through My New Self and am doing pretty good. I have yet to attend a support group but was hoping to find a good one to attend.

      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.
