I'd like to find one too - I'm in Walla Walla. Pre-op but know I'll need support. Post if you've found or made a community.

I'm new in Walla Walla, about 5.5 months post op. I've lost a total of 105lbs and have 25lbs to go to get to my goal.

Hey @@justmona and @@Eli Alexander, you all may consider looking at the Washington State Bariatrics Facebook Page to find others in your area.

While I no longer live in WA, I would suggest joining the FB page mentioned earlier. It's been a wonderful resource! I lived in Pullman and as there were no support groups on the Palouse a small group of us would meet on our own. You might want to consider starting your own group. We discussed challenges, goals, accomplishments, etc. I miss the old group as I'm now in the process of finding a new one out of state.

I'm tying to use this link and it appears to be broken. Is the FB group still active?

Hey, came across the tri-cities post and saw this, how'd your surgery go? I just had mine on 11/8, so this is all new! :)

      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.
