So neat to see you fellow Virginians here :) My surgery is on sept 18 with Dr. Bautista. I saw how at least one of you had him also. Glad to hear it was a positive experience! I'm so excited for this new way of life. I'm in Powhatan, VA.

Dr. Bautista was my surgeon. I was sleeved May 16! I live in Midlothian so not too far from you! Feel free to message me if you need to chat or have questions. One bit of advice...Bautista's older nurse who weighs you in? Double check everything she enters. She had ALL of my allergies wrong, she put me down as a smoker (I'm not) and various other boo-boos that were a pain to fix. Friendly warning!

Haha thanks for the advice. I definitely will double check! I might even ask to look at my info just to be sure.

I would triple love to have someone to talk to about this whole thing. I know NO one who's had surgery. So yes, would love to chat :)

I'm in Midlothian all the time. Sheesh..we're so close..maybe meet for lunch one day? I feel like I'm starving to talk to someone who can relate lol. I met a nice woman at my behavior mod class and we exchanged numbers and texted a few times. I have to be to St. Mary's for labs, etc. by 7. I think I'd better sleep!

Great! I tried to private message you my cell #, but it gives me a error (I'm using the app). Maybe I'll try the website instead.

      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.
