Hi there,

I was recently banded on 6-21-07 at NWWLS but I live in Spokane. Does anyone know if there is a support group in this area??

Thanks!

Hi Rachelle,

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! It is good to hear from someone close. I would love to start a support group. I haven't heard of any groups that meet around here yet. Let's stay in touch!

I was banded in Mexico Mar 22, 07, I've lost 61 lbs, but have hit a stand still or maybe a brick wall would be more like it. Haven't lost a pound since last September. I don't need any negative nasty comments I'm giving myself enough of those already I just need some one who might like to talk, walk, exercise, etc with me to help get me started again. I haven't posted in such a long time due to the utter shame of not keeping on track. I would like to attend the support group at Holy Family but was not sure if its still going or not. If anyone is willing to reach out, message me.

We could probably do an "unofficial" lap band support group in the Spokane Valley if anyone wanted to. Just no whining and complaining. But I could offer support to my bandit sista's!

Today is October 23, 2010 is there any support groups in Spokane/Spokane Valley/Liberty Lake area that are still active? My surgeon offers 1 per month downtown (I live at LL) and it's during my work hrs so I've never been able to attend. I would even be willing to start a group if there is anyone out there interested. I was banded 4/6/10 by Mathew Rawlins, Rockwood Clinic. Start wt 236 current 195

      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.
