I have finally jumped through the last (omgoodness, I hope!) hoop and have been given my surgery date. I will be at Troy Beaumont with Dr. Deol.

Thank you for all the postings here---I think I have read all of them at least twice---trying to get a feel for what it will be like in bandland.

I am scared that like everything else, this too will not keep the weight off. I guess I will just have to face that nasty demon----fear---as I go through this process.

Thank you and wish me luck!!

Hi Greta!

I'm a patient of Dr. Deol as well! I'm hoping to get my surgery date next week.

I just added you to my buddy list! So exciting! I've heard only wonderful things about Dr. Deol and Troy Beaumont!

Keep in touch and take care!

Debra

Hi Debra,

Sounds like you and I will have close dates for surgery. Are you joining the support group that will meet at the Troy community Center? I think that the more we support each other the more successful we'll be!!

      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.
