Anyone in Maryland?



Recommended Posts

Specifically on the Eastern Shore by any chance?

Did the band in '04 and have relapsed. My fault. Back then there was no support group over here and no other bandsters that I could find. Hoping there may be a few by now, especially on the upper shore.

If so, I look forward to hearing from you.

John

Hey John. As I said, I am in Elkton, about 30 minutes from you. I go to the CHRIAS center in Newark, De. That is where my surgeon is out of. It is a great facility and they have a bunch of different support groups - pretty much something for every niche. The web site is:

www.chrias.com

You might want to check it out and give them a call. I would think it would be about an hour drive for you. If nothing else, they might be able to suggest a support group closer to you.

      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.
