I'm in Montgomery County, Upper Providence Township. I plan to have my surgery at PENN. Have you scheduled your surgery? I have two more months (mandatory insurance waiting period).

I haven't scheduled it yet. I had my seminar with the surgeon on Thursday. I have to call my dr on Monday and let her know that I decided on surgery and to change my appointment on the 19th to reflect starting the program for the surgery. So I should have my physical when I go in. Hopefully they'll set the date then. This has been a long time coming.

I was sleeved by Dr Boorse on 1/16. He's fantastic, and the nursing staff was great during my overnight stay!

      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.
