Hi Lenore and Wayne. I live in Illinois, but work in St. Louis. I had my surgery in September, so I'm only a couple of months ahead of you. There is a lot to learn from this site, but let me know if I can be of any help.

Good luck to you both... or I should say, good luck to us all.

Hi Lenore. My name is Pat and I live in southwest Mo. I had my surgery Nov.30th. I had to drive to Norman, Ok. to get my surgery done. That is a 4 hour trip. I could have gone to Springfield, Mo., but my regular Dr. sends all his paients to Ok. and he insisted I go there. My Dr. is Dr.Ronnie Keith and he has been doing these for some time now and seems to have a really large practice and they seem to do a lot of surgerys in Norman. When I go there I always stay overnight. My husband and I are in our mid 60s and an 8 hour round trip is more than we want to tackle. I really like Dr. Keith and his staff. They are so supportive and kind. I don't regret my choice or my regular Dr.s choice. I think he is a very good doctor. I'm new at this but am willing to share any information I have.

      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.
