I only wish' date=' no my surgery will be performed by a team of doctors with Monmouth Bariatrics at Meridian's Bayshore Medical Center in Holmdel New Jersey - aka the Garden State or Soprano Land.

Having lived in So.CA, and frequented Pasadena, I envy your choice of hospitals. Perhaps we can compare notes on the outcomes of our respective "Bayshore" experiences. Have a great day and best wishes with your upcoming surgery.[/quote']

Haha-- I meant Pasadena Tx. Should have been more specific. How about we both ditch our surgeries where we are and meet up in CA for our procedures?!

3weeks?! Oh man. I do the Syntrax shakes an I do like them but its not even close to the same as a hot meal.

I found something that helps...I make an 8oz cup of low sodium chicken broth or veggie broth and i add a scoop of beneprotein unflavoured whey Protein isolate...gives me 6 grams protein in 120mls of liquid.. It mixes up soooo nice that my broth still looks like broth and i cant even taste the whey at all... If your using syntrax...try there medical unflavoured whey protein in some broth for a snack between shakes...add some herbs or spices...man oh man...gives me somthing dinner like and tastes salty versus sweet all the time.

      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.
