Well WELCOME Nikki! I'm excited for you too! You are going to be so proud of yourself. In the beginning it's a bit of a challenge, meaning that you have to literally change your lifestyle overnight. . that is a bit tough, you have to relearn basically how to eat and drink. . but you know what we all did it and guess what? Once you "get it" your going to do so very well, like all of us.

Know that we are here for you. . for all your questions, for a shoulder to cry on, to rant and rave. . we are your cyberfamily, we understand, we've all been through it. . . so once again WELCOME and post away!:)

I am 7 months post op and Dr. Taller was my surgeon as well. He's super nice! Make sure you are strict with your Protein intake and overall liquid especially well in the hospital. And make sure u walk a lot! It all depends in how fast you are out of there. It's an experience I will never forget. Good luck! 2 more days for u! Keep us updated!

Hello everyone. I have been on here for a week and I love the support everyone is giving each other. I.am scheduled for June 10th with Dr. Tribetti here in new jersey. I here he is one of the best. It's being done at Hackensack hospital which is the absolute best. I am counting down the days to the road to a healthy life. I also can't wait to be able to go into a store and buy a pair of paints without them.saying "we don't carry your size but we can order them. Thanks and good luck to everyone.

      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.
