Anyone in Issaquah, WA?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am new to this site, new to bariatric surgery (only decided a few weeks ago). AND I am new to Issaquah (lived in Seattle until a few months ago).

So.... I could REALLY use some friends. I don't know anyone in my new town. And I only personally know one person who has had bariatric surgery (my husband's aunt who lives in Seattle who got sleeved this year and has taught me a lot).

I plan to get a RNY gastric bypass as soon as I qualify (about June 2017 or so). There is a lot to learn and I would love to make some friends along this journey.

Cheers!

Hello! I am over in Seattle and had RNY in 2006 :). I am brand new to this site/app but I was happy to see a local post.

I am willing to help answer anything I can :).

I live in Port Orchard, WA and I had RNY on 9/27/16. I am 6 months out. I would love to answer questions and be a support for you. My husband just had RNY three weeks ago. It's not easy but totally worth it. I have lost 87 lbs since last year.

Hi there! I live in Bremerton. I’d love to start a support group in this area. I’m going to call my team at a Kaiser and see if they have recommendations?

      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.
