Recommended Posts

Hi

I'm looking for someone local to me to get some support going through the weight loss process.

I'm in voorhees nj

I used dr brendan O'Connell and had my surgery at cooper hospital on Dec 17th

Anyone have the same surgeon and live in my area?

Thanks!

I'm so happy to find good reviews on Dr. O'Connell. I'm meeting with him for my first consultation (referred by my PCP) two weeks from today. I am from South Jersey all my life, but have been living in Philadelphia for the past nine years due to my husband's job.

I have dr. Patel with cooper. I am currently on my doctor approved diet plan prior to a surgery date. I am interested in making friends in similar situations. Would love to chat, message me if you want 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.
