I live in Independence and am looking for a support group that meets Wed., Thurs., or Fri. Everything I seen meets on the weekends and I work. Can anyone help. Support groups are a very good tool for weight loss.

Are there any support groups in the KC area that are not specific to one doctor or group? I would like to go.

It's been a while since this post was started, but I wanted to let you know that there is now a support group in the North Kansas City area. It's open to anyone who has had lapband surgery or is thinking about having it done. It is held the 3rd Thursday of the month from 5 to 6 pm at the Weight Loss Surgical Center, 8548 Ambassador Dr. Kansas City.

      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.
