Hi Sleevers!

My name is Michelle, I'm sleeved as of March 17, 2015

And I've not been able to find any kind of support groups over here on the Kitsap Peninsula (Port Orchard, Bremerton, Silverdale, Gig Harbor, Belfair, etc) so I figured I would start a topic and maybe start arranging / hosting a support group for those of us over here.

This is mainly a military area, and support is really important, which is why I want to do this.

So if you're over here and are interested in joining a new support group, and this is brand new as I said I will be newly sleeved, then feel free to reply or message me if you're interested.

Thanks and good luck everyone!

Hello Michelle,

I live in Kitsap County and will be sleeved April 8th. I would love to get together sometime after your surgery to check in. I have looked around for support groups in this area, THERE ARE NONE lol! Glad I found you on here:)

Hello! I am just starting the process but I have been looking around and there are not any support groups anywhere to be found! How are you doing with your sleeve? I live in Graham but I work in Gig Harbor and going to my first consultation on 1-6-16 and hoping to get this all started!

      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.
