Need to Find an Online Meeting



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am Terry. My surgery is scheduled for June 12. One of the rules that my doctor has is that I attend at least one support group meeting before surgery. I have no problem with this, but there are no support group meeting that I can attend before June 12. If I can find a online chat group or live online meeting group hopefully that will meet the requirement. I would greatly appreciate if any of you could give me some suggestions.

Hi Terry,

This site has a chat function, though it's rarely used. Why not schedule a time and say you'll be hosting an online meeting here? Just make an announcement about the date and time (make sure you say which time zone you're in), and at the appointed time go to the chat area. Hopefully some other people will come in and join you, and voila! An online support group meeting.

Decide what would be a good time for you and we can make a couple of announcements about it.

Terry,

Quick question, are you really 92 years of age, or do you mean 29? Is that a typo? If not, I'd say you belong in the Guiness Book of World Records! :o

      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.
