Not sure how your doctor is about the gain but mine was actually not surprised when people gained... his response in group was "well, if you were capable of doing it ALL on your own, you wouldn't exactly need this surgery, would ya"

Plus you have health reasons .... Talk to your Dr. :) I'm sure he/she will be supportive!

Magee is one of the bet places and the best Dr.'s. I a, sad 2 say that July 13 will b my last day of working there. But my dr is there and I am not leaving them. I will b working on the 2nd also. Would ur pcp let u come if u tell him u knw people that went 2 magee? My pcp also wanted me 2 go 2 a if fret dr. But I didn't knw any1 tht went 2 him so I told him I picked a dr. From Magee and due 2 the fact I alo work there he was ok with that.

      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.
