I had my surgery at Fresno Heart and Surgery Center. Lately I have been falling into bad habits again and would like to team up with someone around 6 months out and get back on track. Can anyone help me? I did great for the first 4 months and have lost like 55#. But nothing since.????

Hi there! I'm from California too. I got my surgery in San Jose with Jossart almost a year ago. Sorry were so far away but you can reach out to me if you need anything. Congrats on surgery and good luck. It is an adventure.

Hi! Thank you! That's awesome! I hadn't been able to find anyone else who had/is used/using him!

How was your surgery recovery? How did your sleeve hold up? Have you lost much? Did he have you do the milk of magnesia and Prilosec OTC before surgery too? He says that they will really help with how I feel afterwards. Thank so much!

      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.
