Recommended Posts

It's very hard !!!!! I was just put on mushy/soft foods and I don't even want to eat. I am not getting in enough Protein though !!! My nut said in order to get the weight coming off you have to get it in! Thus why I haven't lost for a week. It's def a decision I don't regret. Are you excited ???

How are you feeling now?

Awesome! I never felt any pain, never even used my pain pump in the hospital or filled my prescription. I've been back to my stay at home mom duties since day 3! The hardest part has been my mental battle with trying to overcome my food addiction.

I live on Long Island too and wanted to jump in and join the conversation (this is my first post on this site)

I am 3 months in to my 6 month supervised weight loss and will be using Dr. Roslin at Lenox Hill in NYC. If all goes as planned, I am hoping for a November surgery date. I keep thinking that this is the last summer being overweight and uncomfortable!

What support groups does everyone go to? I would love a mentor through this process.

My nut who works with all north shore patients said north shore is very strict with post op foods. Like 2 months on liquids or something...that being said...my nut has only worked with north shore patients and thinks the drs there are awesome...I went 2 winthrop with dr barkan and he was fantastic...no issues at all...dr braithwait is the head of the deartment at winthrop and here from many that he is the best both professionally and personally...

I would love the nutritionist's number. I went to the one in my surgeon's office but that is in the city, I would love a referral here in long island and Syosset is close to where I live.

My surgery is next week! If anyone would like to get together for a sleeve support group, let me know. We can find a place and meet, talk and help guide each other.

      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.
