My doctor is Dr. Choi also and I'm so excited today is my 2nd day in the prop diet and so far it's not that bad the only thing is that I didn't weight myself when I started yesterday so if I do loose pounds before Monday I don't know how much it will be. Im excited yet nervous. :)

I was nervous too, when I did my surgery she came to see me before I had it done then they escorted e to the room and all I remember is waking up..You will loose weight if u follow the diet that she gave us...it takes some adjusting but together we can do this...I have an appt with her on the 5th, still adjusting but if you ever need a lending ear, or support I am here :)

I'm from Central NY and going to Cooperstown-- I'm close-ish!

My surgeon's office is actually in Utica but they do surgery in Syracuse too and since I was familiar with St Joseph's I opted to have my surgery there. My aunt lives just outside of Cooperstown in Richfield Springs. I'm about 2 hours from Cooperstown.

      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.
