I Live in Durham, NC by Southpoint mall. I'm doing everything through Duke. I haven't had surgery yet. My surgery date scheduled for Feb. 18th. @ Duke Regional hospital. I'm waiting on insurance approval. I'm a little worried, nervous and excited. My emotions are all over the place, but mentally I'm ready.

Any weight loss surgeries via Duke? Who was or is the doctor?

I had my surgery Monday morning on April 25th. I was really sleepy and groggy at first but then Hours later, that evening I was up walking the hallway. I was released from the hospital the next day. There is some pain, but nothing i didn't expect, the pain is manageable with pain meds. My biggest problem so far is remembering to get my fluids in. The Protein Drinks I liked before surgery, I just barely tolerate now, so my taste has changed. Even Water doesn't taste the same.

      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.
