Hi Everyone! I'm in Royal Palm Beach and have been posting in a few places to see if anyone in the area would want to start meeting up in person to be friends and hang out with other people who can relate. I went ahead and started this MeetUp group: www.meetup.com/WLS-Palm-Beach-County. Feel free to join and invite others. I thought it'd be fun to start with maybe 2 meet ups a month somewhere central to hang out and get advice, support, etc. Please share. Thanks! :)

Swerdygnome Did you do away with the WLS meetup as I do not see it over there?

I don't live in S. Florida, but I flew down there from Minnesota for surgery with Dr. Shillingford on 8/31. His self pay prices are great! And his post-op food plan is so awesome, with no miserable weeks on a liquid diet. I was scared to be as liberal as it was (for example, soft foods starting on day 3!), but I've had a flawless recovery, no problems with any foods, and am down 52.4 pounds in 11 weeks (9 weeks post op, plus 2 week pre-op diet). I don't usually do this, but I'm including a link below to a YouTube video I did describing my post-op diet, since it is so different than almost every other plan I've seen!

I'd recommend him to anyone!

      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.
