Sequim, Pt Angeles, and Olympic Peninsula Support Group Formed



Recommended Posts

I am happy to advise everyone that an new Support Group has been formed in Sequim, Washington. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month at St. Luke's Episcopal Church. The church is located at 525 No. 5th Avenue. The meeting is held in the basement of the church hall. Use the down ramp on the south side of the building or enter through the church hall, find the down stairs and go through the double doors and through the common room to the room at the far right. Everyone is welcome from anywhere. Visitors to the area, please come.

Chuck. Thank you for this info. It is EXACTLY what I need. My surgery date is 3/03 with Dr Hunter @ Virginia Mason. I will calendar the support meetings and plan to attend. How has attendance been?

Thanks, Dan.

Hi Dan,

Most happy that you found our announcement. Congrats on your March 3 surgery date, I am sure all will go well.:w00t:

You might come to our February 11th support group meeting. I found it helpful to attend support group meetings before surgery to get the scoop on what to expect, how to get through the presurgery diet, etc.

We had 12 at our last meeting and that number has been a pretty steady average.

To get the directions to the church, go to penlapband.blogspot.com

I look forward to meeting you,

Chuck

Do you have a list of recommended band fill locations?

I tried to call your phone number but it is out of order.

I'm looking for the closest fill to Sequim. Thanks

      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.
