I'm in east Mesa and I'm scheduled for surgery during Christmas break. Hope you are doing great. Where did you have surgery, how much time did you take off work. I'm hoping to be back to work after 2 weeks.

That is where I'm going to have mine done at too. My surgeon is going to be Dr. Fang, who was yours?

I would love to come to a support group, when are they? I live about 40 miles east of there. It would be great to have support other than my family (my husband has been great, he says he loves me the way I am and just wants me to be healthy). Sometimes I think people are judgemental toward wls and because of that I'm not very open about it to friends and some coworkers. How did you handle that?

I have only told a few friends. They are judgmental. Until they have walk in u shoes they will never understand. Hold strong and remember thiscroad is bumpy but so worth it.

      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.
