I live in Tacoma :) will you be attending the support group at St Francis?

Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I doubt it, even though I'd like to. I have a 2 and 3 year old and not much in the way of childcare help during the day. Wish they had an evening group!

Totally understandable!

Glad to hear positives about Dr Houseworth! I'm getting sleeved by him next week, Nov. 3. I was a little nervous that he didn't require preop diet, but sounds like everyone has done just fine!

I was wondering about a preop diet too. How quickly after your approval were you scheduled for surgery? I have to wait until he's back next week before I get my date. Good luck to you!!!

I was approved on Oct.10th, their earliest date was Oct. 25th, but I couldn't do that so I took Nov.3. I know the waiting is hard!

So very hard!!! I really appreciate your posts. Please let me know how things go for you. This is very exciting :)

There is an evening support group on the 3rd Monday of the month at St Clare's in Lakewood. 6:30pm-7:30pm. Some people go to both, and same nutritionists and subjects. Hope that helps.

I'm 5 months post op right now. Surgery was May 23, 2016. I wasn't required to do any pre op diets. I did have to do 4 months of nutritional counseling, lab work, and various physical exams. I've lost 101 pounds so far. It's been good! I've had no issues except my gallbladder needed to be taken out 2 months after my WLS. Dr. Houseworth is great, but honestly I don't interact with him much. I'll see him for my 6 month checkup, but other than that, I've only seen him 3 times. 2 for prep op and then on the day of surgery.

      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.
