Topic: RE: Kalamazoo GHP/OH Bariatric Focus Group Meeting Reminider
Hi there!
Flat Rock, eh? I spent a little time working there back in the mid-80's. I was living and working in Monroe at the time.
No, unfortunately I don't know anyone or groups over that way. I would watch the Michigan Board and perhaps throw the question out to the group. You might want to contact Barix - I believe they have a program in Ann Arbor - so they may know of some support groups down your way.
Spring is getting closer!
Best regards,
Matt

Topic: Hi Michigan
Well I just found this message board! Well I'm looking for a support group that I can start going to, I'm self-pay so I will be going to Conway SC to have my surgery in July but it would be nice if I had a support group In Michigan...so please let me know if I can come to a support group with my great friends in Michigan!
Topic: RE: Takin Charge and doing it right Tuesday!
Hi, I see every one post about having a cup of protein coffee did you add the protein in the coffee or can you buy protein coffee? I'm a new at this and my surgery is on July 11th, I'm self-pay so I will be going to Conway SC to see Dr. Morris Washington. The doctors in Mi do self-pay but it is a lot more it is still less to go to SC for my surgery.

Day 1 5day P-test well I am making it through day 1. 64 oz water done. 2 protein suppliment done Chicken broth for dinner, asparagus soup for lunch. done. will have more chicken broth for snack later. I have decided I am a carbaholic. because I keep wanting to head for the pastas pretzels, and dumb dumb suckers. But I just grab hold of my water bottle and sip sip sip!
Day 2 @ the 5-day P-Test.:
Been doing a lot of that P-ing! LOL Made day 1 until about 9:30 pm. then caved for a Kiwi fruit. Told my self if I made a slushi out of it, it did not count. Man how we can lie to ourselves. LOL.
Today: down 3 l...bs. and going to do my best to do it right today! So, If I don't succeed today then I will just keep at it untill I can overcome these urges. I do know that instead of the Kiwi, I should have had an additionsl protein suppliment to control the need.
Day2 going good. nos cheating. but I do have to make an additional post of chicken broth. Family is home and said their is nothing better than MOM"s homemade chicken soup. No prob cause now I know they ate a good healthy meal. I did add extra protein drink to my day! It has helped a lot.
Day3- of the 5 day I am starting to feel much more confident in my abilities to get back on program. yesterday, I stayed on target for day 2 even though I did desire some solid foods, I am not a tuna eater, so today I am baking some chicken breast ans will puverize it n the ninja, add some mayo and follow the plan. Taking dear hubby to the Dr. in Ann Arbor today so it may be challenging since I will be out of the house for the day!
Day4 of the 5 day Day4 of the 5 day. I think it went pretty well, decidin what to eat, while at lunch with the girls was challenging, but the old faithful tuna salad got me through. I do feel my pouchi tension. So I guess that is good.
Day5 of the 5 day- protein coffee, (once of cold water, scoop of choc protein powder, pack of splenda, to make slurry, fill the rest of the cup with decaff, and a pack of non dairy creamer)water.
Day 5 of the 5 day: so far going good. not lost a lot of weight but I am back to tracking, and counting protein, cals, carbs, n fat grams. I was also able to dertermine that I must have uncounciously reverted to grazing, exspecially at night and not drinking my water.
Now that I have pinpointed the issues I can get back to the basics aware of my downfalls.
