No not yet. I'm doing the 6 month diet for insurance. But i'll be done with that on June 14. So I am really getting impatient.

I really like Dr. Heider as well. And it doesn't hurt that he is really easy on the eyes.

haha, yes he is a very good looking doctor! The nurses also spoke highly of him, which means a lot. They all said he was very kind and his patients generally did very well. Good luck with getting your surgery scheduled! Do you come to any support group meetings?

I was there last week for the 1st time. I really enjoyed it. I learned a lot about my triggers.

I love Dr. Heider so much! I really trusted him, which was important to me. I like the program they have and I think I made a good decision to go with him instead of the Hickory program. Have you had your surgery yet?

Congratulations and have a smooth recovery, I'm a month away from my surgery and I can't wait. Do you know the buggie size they used on you?

No, I don't know what size. I know my doctor doesn't use boughies... he uses something similar. I asked him about it and he said he used something else. I'm not sure what or what size it was. His patients have had incredible success, so I trust him.

      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.
