Hey Michelle, I am also brand new to this website, I was reading your blog, and I was curious about your surgery date, from your experience do the plan the surgery dates ahead of time like that in most circumstances, I am just asking because I am a teacher and dont want to have my surgery during summer break I really want to lay out in the sun and be poolside, thanks for any help you can lend me, by the way congrats on your journey!

I LOVE DR Grossbard. He is understanding, because was a patient, too! I am 15 months out from surgery, and have met my goal. His office has great ladies working for him, many of which are or have been his patient,too. Dr G.,also, preformed my daughter's gallbladder surgery and her weight loss surgery. My son just started as his patient on Monday. I think you will be quite satisfied with DR Grossbard. Karen(kll724).

Welcome Michelle! I live in Plant CIty and used Dr Aquila in Tampa. I have been banded just over 1 month and am SO glad I did!

I am happy to help you in any way I can.

      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.
