Live in Atlanta and headed to Mexico for my surgery with Dr Alvarez on June 11th. Would be very interested to know of local support group suggestions.

Thanks!

NW Georgia sleever here! I just started the process... looks like it will be October once appointments are finished and insurance is approved. Has anyone used Dr. J. Ryland Scott? I really like him, I don't know anyone who has had surgery done by him though.

Hey you'll - count me in! I'm hoping for a June surgery too. As of today' date=' all of my records are in at the surgeon's office. I have a tentative date scheduled and my paperwork is going to insurance on Monday.

We're going to have to post some strategies for passing by all the GA rib joints, krispy cremes, and fish frys after surgery. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/modern/tongue_smilie.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thumbup1:' />[/quote']

I'm so glad you have made request for strategies!

I have three kids and a husband and it's going to be hard to cook and not eat. Help!!

I'm also glad to see some fellow GA sleevers.

      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.
