I'm here in the rural southeast corner of Washington state. WALLA WALLA to be exact...funny, kind of a foodie haven! :)

Anyone else from around here? Interested in connecting? Support groups in person you know of? Peace!

Hello! I'm just going through all my pre-surgical requirements for the gastric sleeve and happy to see there are others from the Tri-Cites.

Is there a local (in person/face-to-face) support group in our area (within an hour of the TC)?

Thanks!

I don't know of any groups in the TC area. There is a monthly group in WALLA WALLA on the first Wednesday of the month. I can't recommend it however.

Which clinic are you using for your surgery?

I'll be going to OHSU for my surgery. Just waiting for the final insurance authorization and for my date to get scheduled. I've completed all the other requirements.

Thanks for the info on Walla Walla. Do you know where I can get more info about the group?

      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.
