Update!!


The next meeting of the NYC/Long Island Bariatric Pal Support Group will be held on Sunday, January 11th, from 2PM till 4 PM at The Atrium at 805 Third Avenue.


The building is on Third Ave between 49th and 50th Streets.


The Atrium is at the back of the space on the lower level.


Topics of discussion will be surrounding post holiday 'damage' and how to minimize it heading into the New Year. We will also discuss starting a clothing swap which we think is a handy option to constantly buying clothes in varying sizes...especially for special occasions.


Please feel free to PM Lisa or myself if you have any questions or comments and check the link below for the local chapter thread.

Hi, I was unable to make the group yesterday but I am very interested in a clothing swap! I will do my best to make the next one but in the meantime, please keep me in mind if you need help getting the swap up and running. Thanks!

Hi. I think the biggest challenge will be how many folks take part. Obviously the more that do, the more items will be available. I hope we get a good interest level.

      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.
