I was at Alexian Brothers also. Dr Kane. Great experience.

Those of you in the area - when and where do you attend support group? And even if you don't attend - can you tell me where some support groups meetings are at? The one for the Kane Center is only on Sat AM and that's not a good time for me. I'd like to meet with people who have had WLS. Thanks.

Morten's mom - would you like a visitor? I don't live too far and I'm off work. I'd be happy to stop by on day two if you like. I'm rootin for ya!!!!

Everyone is talking about Alexian here, but my surgery is at Good Shepard. Id love someone that's been through this to visit the hospital. I hear that the first days or so are bad.

      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.
