Recommended Posts

Does anyone, or has anyone attended the Centennial Medical Center Support group that meets every 3rd Tuesday of the month?

I'm going to attend tomorrow night and am excited about going. I would love to meet anyone from this board that attends.

Tricia: I don't attend I live in Calif but I have a friend that just had the RNY procedure at Centennial and she might be attending those groups. Her name is Brenda Petrus. She works at the VA hospital as a Bone Marrow Transplant Nurse. She is a beautiful black lady with short hair. If you see her there then tell her Penni says HI. She would be a good person to get in contact with. She is such a sweetie. Just a suggestion.

Hey Penni,

I'll try to catch up with her at the next meeting. I didn't read this post in time for the last meeting.

Hello Eva!

I saw where Dr. Houston is going to perform your surgery. He did my last fill and I think he's wonderful :)

The support group meetings are held every Tuesday at 6:00pm at Centennial. I will probably be going this evening. There's also a more comprehensive support group that meets every 3rd Monday (I believe) that I plan on going to this month. I'll check my info when I get home and let you know.

The support meetings are for both pre and post op patients. I would love to meet you. I live in Antioch, but work in Nashville.

Marie,

Yes, it's in Tennessee..... Thanks! I'm thrilled about my weight loss. My second fill really helped, I was starting to get a little discouraged. I think every new bandster needs a class or seminar in "PATIENCE" I sure did! :):D

I guess I missed the chat :) - I'll try to participate in the next one if there is one scheduled.

      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.
