I am from Salem, OR but am having my surgery in Mcminnville. I was hoping to find some people in the area to create a support group. When are you having your surgery?

Hello sexy back, congratulations on your sleeve. I hope you're feeling okay. I would love to start up a support group in Portland if you're interested. I had my surgery at Kaiser but their support group is only for gastric bypass patients.

I would love to be part of a support group for sleevers! I just moved to Portland from New Mexico! I am scheduled for surgery at OHSU on 5/20/2015. I'm looking to make some connections for support here, especially people who understand what having WLS means.

Welcome to Portland. OHSU had a support group. I've been wanting to try it. I understand the WLS thing. I had a lapband before the sleeve.

      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.
