Just got my date, Jan 8th. It has been a long 18 months to approval. Would like to share any info on my new doctor Scott Cunneen at Cedars in LA. Also, how do you get the little scale working below your name?

Hi eldonh,

congrats on your surgery. You can go to http://www.choosing2lose.com/tickers/ do your ticker then cut and paste the http URL into your signature. Up at quicklinks, you can select "edit signature" You then cut and paste the URL at the bottom "enter URL to image" then hit save. That should do the trick. Good luck.

I've been trying to get going but the holidays are really messing things up. The day after xmas I will start the Protein Shakes and see how that goes. By the way, my wife and daughter are in NYC now and are having a great time. We live near LA and I'm having it done at Cedars Sinai hospital.

      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.
