Hello, I live in Kearney and Dr. Hohen did my surgery. They only have support groups for people that he has done. Did you go to several different places before picking Dr. Malley? When I was first going thru and finding a place I didn't get a good vibe from his "program" or lack of one. I was given an exam and told I was a good canidate and then they wanted to know when I wanted to have it done and wouldn't tell me how much it was going to cost to have it done. There was no nutritionalist or psyh eval or meetings to attend to at the time for support. I have heard that he just pushes you thru. I didn't like that. I know that he has a support group and that is open to anyone but it is in Kansas. I went a few times and wasn't very impressed. The diet that most of them were eating was high in carbs and not much Protein and they didn't all seem to be losing weight as quickly as people in Dr. Hohen's group. They seem to have more bad habits or unhealthy ones that almost seemed like they were encouraged and not told to stop. Everyone must pick a program that works for you. That is why I chose Dr. H's program. He seemed to have a better success rate and patients seem to lose more and keep it off longer on his program. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate your input. I did research other Dr.s and found that I liked Dr. Malley and his staff better than the other 2 Dr.s I went to. I thought his mandatory orientation was very helpful and informative. Dr. Malley was really great every time I meet him and I felt very comfortable with him. His nurses and staff have been great in answering all my questions. Thanks again!

      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.
