It is very nice to meet you all! Good Luck to you too! I am in northeast Phoenix. I was supposed to attend a seminar Oct.12 but had to cancel for a meeting at work that day. I am going to reschedule for another seminar. Can anyone in the Phoenix area recomend a good Surgeon?

I'm new here as well. I've been stalking this site for several months, reading and getting information. I'm in Scottsdale and have my consultation with Dr. Husted this Thursday the 14th.

My husband and I attended his seminar back in September and he seems like a decent guy. I've been researching him and so far, not finding anything that makes me want to flee. His staff seems nice as well.

His office is on Tatum, just north of the 101.

      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.
