Suffolk County Walkers and Support Group



Recommended Posts

Hi,

My name is Laney and I am a month post op today and I had my surgery done at Stony Brook. Since I started my pre liquid diet a month ago and now on soft foods I have lost 35 pounds.

So, I am looking for fellow Suffolk County Long Islanders that are veterans or new to Gastric Sleeve Surgery. That would like to start up a walking group and a support group to help us all with our journey to a healthier you. We can discuss any issue we may be having and exchange recipes or ideas that have helped others.

If interested let me know. I live in the Huntington area.

Hi, I am so glad you responded. I did look into groups from Long Island on this site but the conversations were from a few years ago. So, I decided to start a new one to get support and give support. It has been rough road but all worth it. I work during the day but looking to walk with someone or even join a gym it would be easier to exercise with someone else that nows what you are going through also.

I live in the Huntington area if you like we can meet someplace between you and I to chat one day.

      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.
