I'm all for having a local meet & greet. :)

Anyone at Valley with Dr. Schroppe: you guys planning on trying the support group with Gio?

I think I will definitely be checking out the support group.

Gio has a support group? I didn't know that, I would love to go, do you know any other details?

Gio told me last week that they do monthly support groups. I guess they do one for each different type of surgery because last week was the lap-band one. Anyway, he suggested that I go to the group when the time came, just to see.

@Boofster

Hi! I go to Advanced too. Who is your coordinator?

I was originally scheduled for the end of Sept but insurance requested for 3 mt weigh ins prior to approval. So, if all goes well I should be scheduled towards the end of Nov w/Dr Eid.

      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.
