Looking For Support Groups



Recommended Posts

I live in southern Connecticut and attend a monthly support group. I would like to attend more because I don't find one to be enough. Are there any other groups around? I go to the one at St. Vincent's.

I know White Plains Hospital Center and The New Image Surgical Weight Loss Center in Dobbs Ferry Hospital in NYS have support meetings if that not far for you.

Hello, I to live in southeastern CT. I am in Ledyard .I use to go to LM's weekly support group with Judy Fabricant in the mental health department. It's a great group my only problem was it's a paid group so if you don't have insurance that covers it, it is way to expensive. But either way her # is 443-1111 that's her business phone#.

I see you've been to St. vincent support groups did you have Dr. Erhlich if you don't mind me asking. That is who my surgeon is. I am just coming up on my 1 year anniversary! Yeahhhhhhhhhh............

I am also trying to work with Kevin at his office to get a free bi weekly support group up and running . But that could be sometime before that gets going.....

Good luck!

      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.
