Dr. Kevin Krause @ Beaumont

I'm gonna be honest... I was hoping you would say that. I am also using Krause via Beaumont Weight Loss Rochester. The docs estimate surgery will be in Feb. Nervous. Not terrified, but definitely nervous! :)

I was too! Dr. Krause is awesome! I've been a nurse for 13 years & half of that was with critical surgical patients. So I have experience from both sides. It wasn't easy, but if weight keeps coming off I will have zero complaints. Good luck!

I am a Beaumont nurse too- going through the Royal Oak Beaumont Weight Loss Center on Coolidge. Just wondering if you had any experience with Dr. Chengelis? He presented at the seminar & seemed to know his stuff, but I wanted a fellow nurse's opinion :).

No sorry, I haven't met him yet. But I love the weightloss center on Coolidge. So comprehensive, excellent support! If I hear anything about him I'll pass it along

Any Michigan Sleevers getting sleeved in November? I'm set to be sleeved Nov 21st at St. Mary's in Grand Rapids by Dr. Kemmeter. Any other GHP patients that can relate the 2 wk diet? I know so many people are on a 2 wk liquid only diet and I know GHP doesn't do that so I wanted to get some tips from people who might be able to relate! I am on day 3 of mine and feel like I have been starving 24/7 but have only dropped a couple of pounds. Am I going to lose enough for surgery? Do they make you lose a certain amount? I know on the paperwork I received it says if I "maintain or gain weight" by surgery day that the surgery will be cancelled...

      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.
