Hi Scotschick

have to confess I really haven't been on this forum as much as I should have so I was unaware that Cavalier2us was running a support group - but I would defo be up for attending the next meeting if only to meet other folk in the same situation - if you find out the details please pass them on. I used to live in Midlothian - Newtongrange. I work in Edinburgh (12 hours shifts) so I get quite a lot of time off in between shifts so let me know if you fancy getting together sometime.

Well I was given a card with C2U's details on it by Lorna one of the nurses, last week and was told that she is running/hoping to run a group - C2U can you elighten us please? You've got at least three of us now so that constitutes a group! :eek::(

JB, I'm just down the road from Newtongrange, I work very erratic hours as am self employed but would love to get together maybe in the new year. I'll PM you my number.

Hi,

Have read your post and wonder if I could ask you some questions. I have made the decision to go for this and having done some research on the net have come up with Dr Chris`s details but a bit worried as he is in belgum. Have you had your surgery yet and how has your experience been?

Thanks for your help. Barry

      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.
