Dr. Lopez, MI Hospital, June, Advice!



Recommended Posts

I am scheduled in June with Dr. Lopez at MI Doctors Hospital. I am very anxious and was hoping that you all could tell me what I need to know. I am interested in other people's experiences, and especially those who have used Dr. Lopez and A Lighter Me. I also would like to know what I need to bring with me. Anything that I need to know but may not even be aware that I need to know would be appreciated. Thanks!

Dr. Lopez, ALighterMe, Dr. Ortiz, Abraham, Eduardo, Rhonda and Janice are all WONDERFUL! Nothing but rave rave reviews here. I was sleeved in Nov. Take plenty of PJ pants with pockets for your drain, I suggest a bandeau bra, or a couple, I took gas X steips and a hot water bottle but didn't need either. All of the broth and popsicles you could possibly need are free. The Jello is delicious at the Marriott, as is the apple juice at the hospital after the surgery. WALK as soon as you can. PM me if you want my full story. All of you will do great!!

My loss is good so far, it has slowed since the 6-7 month mark, but I'm still dropping. Slow but steady wins the race :)

      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.
