Hi SimplySam, I am 3.5 years out and live in Mass. I belong to a support group which is a closed / secret group and is only for people who have had the surgery or are in the process of going for it. It is very supportive, have great people in it from all over the country... It was started 3 years ago by a local guy who I have gotten to know from my support groups that I have been going to... I am also one of the administrators.. I can add you in if you would like.. Just have to let me know your name... It is through facebook... Let me know your name and we can become friends on Facebook and I will add you into the group. Mine is Jackie Mahoney, my email is Jacqulinemahoney@comcast.net if you cant get in touch with me through this site... I have just started to get in this one but not used to it yet. Hope to hear from you soon...

      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.
