Sorry I'm just now answering but I had trouble viewing my posts. I am doing good. I had some bad burning pain below biggest incision that lasted 1 week. Now it is sore there but better. Thank you all.

Sorry I am late to the party! I went through the Illinois Bariatric Center and LOVE it there. I had my surgery in February and still haven't regretted it one day! Everyone there is so sweet, and I look forward to going to my appointments to see the staff. I was very nervous about surgery after talking to someone that I work with, but the pain wasn't bad at all and I was up and moving around that same day!

I started the process through the Champaign office, had my surgery at the Clinton hospital (because of insurance purposes), and now go to all my follow up appointments through the Champaign Office. I live in Urbana and work in Champaign, so it is very convenient for me. I highly recommend it based on my experience thus far!

ev1988 how much have you lost since Feb? I had my surgery Sept 19th, ive lost 13lbs since then and 60lbs all together since April 4th. I did weight watchers on line from April-Aug. and lost 40lbs. The rest js from preop diet and then surgery. I see Dr Roscheibt at the MtVernon office. I get my 1st fill Nov 7th, a little nervous about that. I dont have any trouble eating anything now. But I probably will after fill.

      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.
