Thanks FatFreeMe! Good luck to you too. I have been to the Miriam Hospital group once but I prefer some of the others because they are smaller.

I'm in NH!! Heyyyy!! I had my surgery sept 7th! 2 weeks today. I'm down 25 since surgery and 45 lbs total with my pre op diet. I'm pretty good now, little to very minimal pain, everything went smoothly for me. Best wishes! I just got back from a few days in Jamestown RI for some relaxation! It was beautiful!!

Tekara, i am in Portsmouth too and i am just starting my journey. Had my first consult with the Nurse practitioner on friday and made my Nutrition and PT appointments already. I would love to get your feedback on the team here. From what you have posted so far, it seems like you are very happy so far.

      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.
