Dr. Gerald Kirshenbaum - Considering Dr. Kirshenbaum



Recommended Posts

I want to use Dr. Kirshenbaum. Natalie said I need to bring another person with me because "The surgery center will not discharge you to a cab driver because you are under the influence of narcotics (general anesthesia)." But I really have anyone that can come with me. :)

Any ideas?? :thumbup:

Dave~ Wish I could help, but I live in SLC so it's kinda far.

Deb~ Sounds like you guys had a fun day together!

After 2 weeks of fighting and trying to stick to Protein Shakes, and soft/liquid Proteins I had a weak moment last night and ate most of a large oreo shake. Low and behold I think I again have the problem of not getting enough calories, because I have lost 1.5!!!! I am going to try harder to keep my calories up so that I might start losing again. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Well I guess you can put me down for a 0.3 loss. I almos had a gain this week so I shouldn't complain. I lost more today from yesterday, but if I can maintain that it will be on next week's numbers.

Julie, I'm glad to hear everything was ok with your band!

Hey everyone. Hope all are doing great and staying cool. It is a hellish 98 degrees with a feels like temp of 110. Thinking of those cool mountains out there.

Well, I am back from Denver. The surgery went well and the trip home wasn't that bad. It was interesting to have all my liquid drugs bomb tested at the airport. I am sore and I just removed the nausea patch, so my fine vision should return soon. I am also moving towards being able to breathe deeply again. My cats missed me and want lay on me. Nothing is coming back up, so, so far so good. I admire those who can go back to work a couple days after this, but I wouldn't have been able to. I am glad I was able to take the extra time off.

Congratulations on getting your band!!! I am glad that all went well and you are home safe. I needed more time to recover too. I didn't have a job at the time so that helped, but those people who go back in a few days amaze me! I hope your recovery is quick though!

Hi Dee,

Please put me down for another 1 pound loss. I'm happy with that because my b-day was this weekend. We spent the night at Fortune Valley and I ate a surprising amount of crab legs and oysters! Oh well, it was low carb anyway!

Natalie emailed me about a service in the area that will take care of this for $166.00 sounds like a life saver to me! I am really excited now! I can't wait!!!

      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.
