Hello All!!

I am 6 weeks POST sleeve surgery, kinda new to Chicago and need to find some sleever friends who are on the same journey and in the same boat as me. I really want to make some friends for sleever support, gym support, and overall friendship support.

I'm 6 Weeks after surgery and doing very well. I'm able to start working out, lower body only still at the moment, and I'm actually very excited about it. I have a full membership at Xsport and it is fantastic. Hoping to be able to meet some new friends and to share this amazing journey or new life, new achievements, new goals, and more excitingly NEW CLOTHES = SHOPPING!!!! :)

Hope this forum is successful not only n finding others out there like me for very informational.

I have noticed that is seems NO ONES journey is the same, as mine too is very different from any other I have read about thus far.

Hope to hear from you soon!

Congrats to all those who have been recently approved or are at their post surgery mark!! To those who are on their way to approval and surgery, YOU CAN DO IT!! We are here for you.

Sincerely, Sara

Hello, does the hospital you were sleeved at, or a local Center for Excellence, have a support group you can connect with. Good luck!

Hi,

I'm in Edgewater/Andersonville. Looking for some friends with related matters and determination. (Sorry it sounds like a personals as lol) I went to a hospital called Good Samaritan in Downers Grove. My Batiatric clinic is Lifeweigh Bariatric. They are amazing. They have a support group but it's also in Downers Grove. So I don't attend. Main reason why I'm looking for folks in Chicago.

I'm also from Chicago. What part of Chicago are you from? I haven't had surgery yet. I'm scheduled for Oct 22nd.

Good luck dede0314

      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.
