Hello out there! I'm hoping to start a Massachusetts support group if anyone is interested.

Hi everyone.

I am sort of new to this forum. I am still trying to figure it out. I had my rny surgery on June 6 th. I must say that I do not feel great. I feel bloated all the time. The Protein shakes are not good. I need to call my weight center today 6/11 to talk to them about this. I have not had a bowel movement since before my surgery. Not sure if that is normal since I am not eating real food. I have no energy although I did take a two mile walk yesterday that felt good' date=' I then tried to drink my carnation instant breakfast and since then have just felt gross. I love when I sleep as I don't feel the discomfort, but as you can see its now 4am and I am typing this:-(. I really need help and need to know what other people are eating on their stage 3 liquid diet? Any help would be so appreciated. I bought some Boost drink and it's gross.

I can't wait to feel normal again[/quote']

I like the Atkins strawberry banana shake. It's really good and it has 15 grams.

I wish I had smaller clothes for you....I haven't had the surgery yet. But...it may be something we massachusetts folks want to do as a group at some point.

Hi everyone! Having my surgery tomorrow at Newton- Wellesley with Dr. Partridge. So excited but a little nervous about dealing with the recovery and three small children. Tonight will be tough as I drop them off with grandparents. They wiling well cared for and have fun on their "vacation" but I will miss them!

Thinking about inexpensive transition clothes. Anyone checked out Savers or Goodwill in Framingham?

Hi I'm from Ma I had my surgery at Tufts Medical in Boston. I am 6 yrs out and wanted to go to meetings in the area. I tried to go to Tobey's and they said I could not join their groups because I did not have the surgery there..... So I have started my own. I have taken a leadership program from Obesity Help and I have meetings at the Sr Citezen Center in Fairhaven Ma We are on break until September. We meet the second Saturday of the month at 9:30. Right now we are a small group but we are there helping each other. Support groups are very important from the get go. All are welcome. If interested please let me know.

Thanks! It's the Losing part that's the hardest...isn't that why we're here in the first place. I know it's to prepare your liver for surgery...makes it easier to get it out of the way but' date=' yeesh 20-24 pounds is alot. I'm trying though!

I'm going to try out the chat if anyone is interested

By the way I'm going through Tufts Medical Center's Weight and Wellness Center in Boston[/quote']

Hi. That is where I went. I had Dr Julia Kim. She is awesome. When is your surgery?

I am almost 6 yrs out. Just do exactly what they say and you will be amazed at the results. Just remember protein first!!! And. Chew chew chew.....
