It really is.....where did you have yours done i had it at hospital Angeles by dr corvalas. I am happy with everything so far but would have like a name of a local doctor who knows about this procedure for the just in case. He did say he would give me a name I emailed the nutrishonist several times but no reply I'm going to try and call there on Monday I made the mistake of reading all the past post and there were 2 people that had complications 5 months out and felt great it is my only concern other than that I could live happily ever after :)

Hi davell23, glad to hear your doing great. I had mine done in Northern Westchester hospital, Mt. Kisco, NY. I loved the hospital and all the nurses and staff there. But do not like my surgeon. I dread going to see him for a follow up. He's on vacation after doing my surgery. He rushes you through your visit and is very rude and abrupt. But one of the best surgeons in the country. Nice talking to someone thats going through the same thing. :)

So Thanksgiving dinner has come and gone and I am so proud of myself! I did the cooking, hosted a lovely dinner and followed all of my rules.....and no melt down. I ate as I was supposed to and enjoyed myself thoroughly! Without being sick, eating too much and no pie at all :-) Sorry if I sound like I am crowing, but i really am proud of myself! I hope it went as well for everyone else. As a scuba diover, it is drilled into us "Plan your dive and dive your plan" This was "plan your eating and eat your plan" and just as in diving, it WORKED! Happy holidays everyone! Stay way away from the cookie tray!

Went to see my surgeon for follow up after sugery and his nice long vacation.. I was already for a terrible rushed visit and to my surprise it was great. He was very nice and really pleased with my weight loss. I am down 25 lbs in one month. I am so happy. My clothes are getting loose and I feel really good. Joining an exercise program soon. Just walking alot a couple times a week. Want to do more. Yippeeeeee!!!!!! Hope everyone else is doing good. Thanks for listening.

      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.
