Recommended Posts

I had surgery with Dr. Papasavas 8/6/13... It went well, I have not been sick at all!

That sounds great. Sounds like you had a great recovery and I hope my recovery is as successful as yours. Dr. Papasavas is my surgeon as well.

It's going awesome. I've lost 40lbs since I started the whole process in June. Since surgery my activity levels have improved. I went out dancing last weekend and was able to dance 3 songs with out getting tired. Which was a new for me I was lucky to get thru 1/2 of 1.

I have my appointment scheduled for Jan 6th, decided against a pre-holiday surgery. I am having it done with Dr. Tishler, so far very happy - any comments about him? The office seems great and very supportive. :)

      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.
