Your program doesn't offer any support groups? If you type in support groups in the search box located in the upper right corner you may be able to find one near you.

Hi and welcome! I agree with BLERDgirl. face to face support groups are so helpfull! Of course you are welcome here as well. I don't know when my surgery will be scheduled, but once I know, I'll be blurting it out here in BP land!

you mean surgery 2/15 right?? not 2/16 right??

ask your NUT (nutritionist) or surgeon about finding a support group

they hopefully can advise you

call the hospital where you will be having surgery

thats what i did

they were very nice and told me where to go :huh: :lol: :lol:

good luck bud

      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.
