Hi:

My name is K and I would be very interested in your support group you are starting. There is also another girl down the road from me that might be interested, but I will have to talk to her after I find something out definite. I think that Dr. Speigel requires us to attend at least four a year, really not sure, but I think that it will do alot of good for myself and others as well. Soo please let me know as soon as you have a date of when you plan to start, I would be happy to attend. Thanks. You can email me kclang@myway.com

I'm sorry but the post was in 2005. We met for over a year and then other obligations got in the way. We had started to attend Dr. Chung's Support Group but we just got tired of the Dr. Spiegel bashing at each meeting. You can always try and start a Lake Charles group again. Lisa

Thanks but no thanks, I have a hard time just trying to get my duties in order. I will try to attend the Texas meetings if I get the chance. I just thought closer was better. After all Dr. Speigel is advertising on our local channels, and after all, he is accepting Louisiana money, he should not leave us out and have his staff start a group. But it was our choice to let him perform our surgery. Thanks for asking though, just not possible on my part, right now anyway.

      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.
