Hello,

I am new to 'LapBand Talk.com' ... I just found this site today. There is a very small group of us in Bellingham that are having our very first 'Soup nite' which is just a support group meeting or visit time, TONITE, Jun 15th at Bellis Fair Mall 6:30 pm in the food court. All are welcome, please come or email me if you'd like to know the date for the next meeting. We plan to have our support group ongoing with regular meetings.

We can all benefit from each other's experiences, I'd love to meet other bandsters.

Thanks!!

Anne Inman in Bellingham

I just got banded on the 10th. of April. I read that you are having a group meeting in June? When was that posted. Is this group still active in Bellingham? I would like to meet other bandsters to talk about things. I would rather not wait until June to do so, however. Anyway, let me know.

Looks like this post is about 3 years old. My understanding is that most of the Bellingham groups have kind of dried up, but I'm hoping to get something going! I just got banded a few days ago and I'd love to be part of a local/Bellingham group.

When were you banded? I would like to meet you....the people on the other board have not sent out any more feelers about getting together, but it would be fun to talk to you anyway.

Stardrum--I was banded on April 22nd, so I'm just over a week out from surgery.

I'll send you a private message and maybe we can get together! There's another person from Birch Bay that I've e-mailed so maybe we can get a little group going.

There is a Bellinghams Weight loss surgery support group (free) that happens on the 3rd Wednesday of every month. It begins at 7pm and ends at 8;30pm. It's held at the health education center, 3333 Squalicum parkway. It's hosted by Pacific Nutrition and Wellness. I haven't been to one yet but am planning to attend this month.

Maybe we'll all meet :biggrin2:

Thanks, Ms Mel. The problem with this board is that it is so big, I lose track of even my own messages. We won't be around for this month's meeting, but maybe I will make it in June. I've been banded since October along with my husband, who was banded the same day.

      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.
