Hi! Good to speak to someone near! How are you? Dr. Enochs from BSNC was my surgeon. Who was yours? Have you gone back for you 2 weeks post op yet? And if so, how much have you lost since the date of surgery? Have you gone to any of the support group meetings there or do you know of any in Durham?

Yup just went to my post op appt yesterday. I'm down 20 lbs from my pre op diet to now. I lost 12 of those after my sleeve. I had Dr. Enochs as well. I haven't been to a support group yet my my friend and I are planning to go to the one at Rex next month. The schedule is on the practice's website. So cool to meet someone with the same doctor and a week apart in the same area! I live in Apex, so it was so convenient too!!

      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.
