Hi Wecolme. I'm from NC to, Raleigh. My surgery was done June 22nd by Dr. Yoo. 6 weeks out and 23 lbs down. I do feel good and am starting to really get into the workout routine.

Good Luck!

Awesome! I'm so new to this... Do you have to attend a learning session prior to seeing the surgeon?

I did. I went to one on a Saturday morning, had my appointment with the surgeon in two weeks, did all my test in a month and then had surgery. I fast tracked myself. I had thought about doing it for so long, I just tried to fast line myself and I did. I can harldy believe it's over and I weeks post op.

Love Duke Weighloss though, they are a great team. Feel free to contact me about anything. I am fairly new, but learning a lot.

      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.
