Anyone in Palm Beach County, FL?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I"m new here at Bariatric Pal. I'm in Royal Palm Beach, FL and I'm 43 and I"m also semi-new to South Florida so I don't know many people here. I am just starting the process so it could be up to 6 months (insurance rules) before i can actually get surgery. I'd love to add some of you as friends who stay pretty active on here so I can learn from you and follow you in your journey to getting healthy!

Thanks!

Jamie

Hi Jamie,

I am a little further south than you in Broward County, but would love to be each other's support! I am 40 and have a scheduled surgery date of March 2, so a few more weeks for me.

Take care,

Rebecca

Hi Rebecca, thanks for your reply. I'd love to support each other! March 2 is right around the corner. I'm actually getting my endoscopy the same day! Best of luck to you!

Jamie-I live in Loxahatchee and am having surgery 7/14. I am 46 and am definitely interested in being "surgery buddies".

Hey Molly, sorry I've been off this site for a while. Loxahatchee is super close to me. I actually moved to Wellington. Are you on Facebook? I'm a member of several groups on FB, one of them is a July Sleevers group for people getting sleeved in July. The address to the group is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1250105091764531/

Our surgery dates are close also. I'm being sleeved on 7/18 and I'm currently doing my liquid diet.

Hi! My surgery date is 7/18 so I"m currently on liquid diet. I'm having it done at Wellington Hospital with Dr. Kaza. You should join the July Sleevers group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1250105091764531/

I joined-just waiting for approval from the admin. Yes we live VERY close. I leave 7/14 to travel to California then Mexico for surgery on 7/18. My doctor only required liquid diet 3 days prior to surgery, but I started on 7/5 so I can get used to it. It is very rough but sugar free popsicles are my best friend right now! Excited and nervous! Mostly excited:). I look forward to seeing our progress!

I have a friend that had surgery in Mexico in September. She's lost 125 lbs and is doing so well. I've contemplated surgery for years, but after watching her success, I finally made the decision to do it!

      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.
