This will be at the College of Medicine. As you enter the campus turn at the first left and come up to the top of the hill. There should be parking available there including handicapped). Otherwise there is also parking down the hill. Come in the door with the red awning and to the left of the entrance there is both an elevator and steps that go to the second floor. You will be in the waiting room of University Psychiatric Services. I will be available by 6:45. Let's meet for about an hour and talk about if the space is adequate and whether or not people want to take turns presenting a topic or just chat each time about issues. Let's see what we need. There is no charge to use this space and we should have plenty of chairs. If you have questions, PM me at this website.

Connie,

Is this for anyone who has had the lap-band surgery?

I really am in need of getting back on track. I did so good the first 6 months after surgery, but the past year have just slacked off. I have gained some of the weight back, but I am determined to lose it again, but sure could use a good pep talk.

I plan on being there on Feb. 18th.

Thanks,

Julie

The group is for anyone who has had any weight loss surgery. I have had the band, but the focus of the group will be on recovery. Connie

      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.
