@ Butterfly

Make sure you keep in touch. It would be great to hear about your post surgery. Congrats on the 11lbs so far!! They moved my date to the 4th. I won't be to far behind you!!!

I have my meeting at Snyergy wednesday. Hopfully they are helpful. I think I learned more from here. Did you try the unjury chicken Soup mix? I just ordered some. I am not a big fan of sweet. I am a big fan of Skinny and healthy.....

OMG we are soon to be losers! Yep pretty excited.

Oh my goodness no date until today and already you are moved up two week…..good for you.
I am even more excited for you. Is the meeting for your pre op workshop? I have not tried
any of the Unjury things. I did get a tub of the fusion unflavored and mix that with some
of the premade drinks I have and it seems to cut some of the sweet. I haven’t gotten too
much post op items, I want to wait and try some things first. I have heard from some people
that their taste change and they couldn’t drink the same shakes as before surgery. I don’t
want to waste money on things I won’t be able to stomach.

Yes it is my pre op workshop. I heard the same thing about post op and taste changing. All I know is you have to get your Protein in. Totally agree with you. Not really into wasting money.

YOu must be getting excited yourself! Days away. I will keep you in my thoughts.

Another WNYer here. I've been reading the forums for two years or so. I have been back and forth on who to go with and I think I've decided on Synergy Bariatrics. I am chosing this mostly as that is the easiest for me to get to.

@@lavendermom3 I see that's your Dr. too. Can you tell me where they actually do the surgery? Is it ECMC or Buffalo General? I plan to call their office tomorrow to get the ball rolling and I think that's the only question I have, so far.

Thanks so much!

@ Itsmeanoymous

They do it at ECMC. My suggestion is go online and do the online seminar and print the paperwork out. Then call your primary MD and get them to sign the paperwork agreeing to the surgery for you. Send the paperwork back to Synergy and they will make you an appt. Call and Pay the money to have the NUT/nutirtion visit with Ann Marie. Get that stuff out of the way.

you can do alot of stuff right online first.

      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.
