I was really nervous, but the pread at the hospital, precert from Karen went really smooth. The admision day was easy I was there bu the required time, all process in the admision was really fast I felt very comfortable, the nurses and drs were very care about me and how I felt before and after surgery! Overall agreat ecperience, I was walking the same day of the surgery and went back home the next day. Following all indications sharp by the hour!

Dr McGill was my surgeon. He was GREAT. I've been an ICU nurse for 30 years and had plenty of questions. he never got frustrated with me, and always answered my questions and made sure I was comfortable. Karen the dietician was great, she has some great tips for making eating easier after surgery. The staff at Piedmont hospital were AMAZING. Felt like I was the only patient on the unit. I think they camped out at my door and waited for me to need something. Dr McGill even dealt with my crazy mother and family while I was in recovery, and he did it with a smile and never took it personally. He reminds me of an overgrown Opie Taylor from Andy Griffith show. AMAZING doctor. Recently I had a stomach virus and had some vomiting. I had to call the answering service at 7:30 in the morning. Dr McGill called me back within 5 minutes and when I apologized for bothering him; he stopped me mid sentence and told me that was his job, I was not bothering him. Got me feeling better very quickly.

      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.
