Recommended Posts

Advanced Surgery Group is great. Dr. DePeri did my surgery and I saw Dr. Webb and Dr. Hagan in the hospital. Keep us posted on your progress.

Awesome! I will definitely keep you all posted. I haven't asked what size boogie they use. Do you know what size Dr. Webb used? People keep asking me that, lol.

Well in the book that's considered cheating but my mom and my doctor said I can have that untill the 18 10 days before my surgery to get in the Protein diet phase.

No I can't but my doctor said I'm allowed just mashed potatoes until Monday cause that's my 10 day mark and it's helping me get into my diet

My surgery will be done at Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville on the 29th! The support groups are on Mondays. So if this hospital is closer, let me know. We can also have meet ups for a few if us and share tiny meals when our tummies are healed!

I'm in Orange Park. Just had my sleeve done on the 8th. I'm a lapband conversion, I'm down 16 pounds so far and feel great. I had Dr. Uchal at North Florida Surgeons do my surgery. I would love to get a group together to meet up, and have an informal group once a month.

      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.
