How many people attend this support group meeting? I started attending the monthly meetings at Kent General as a pre-op. Always looking to meet others who have been through the process.

Hello:

I too have been to the KG group, I picked different day to meet so you can do both if you choose. This is just getting started so there are just 3-4 regulars right now but hoping to expand. We focus more on the individual and the support you may need or can offer to the group. Come out and give us a try I think you will like the group. If you have more questions fire away. I am here to help.

Hi! Are you still doing these support meetings? I'm going through Walter Reed bariatric surgery program and i need to attend 5 support group meetings before surgery. I'm guessing these would count.

Yes, we meet every 3rd Thursday of the Month at 5:30 pm, so our next meeting is August 20th, I do have Jury Duty this week so I hope that does not mess up my meeting. I think we may have already talk on the phone before. I hope to see you there!

Nope I haven't talked to you on the phone yet. I have a friend who just had the sleeve done last week who I hope to bring with me sometime. Have you met with any other Walter Reed bariatric surgery patients? Or are any in your group?

      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.
