I have heard the PET class was good. Trish is supposed to be teaching it. Last night, I went to a group meeting, and It was nice to talk to all the others who were about to / have already had the surgery.

I hope my insurance pays like it should. I have heard so many horror stories.

March the 24th. So that is about two months. Are you happy with your results?

Tom.

I am beyond excited with my results. After surgery don't get discouraged because you will hit the insanely long dreaded "stall" and I just got through with mine. I have lost 33lbs so far and 16 inches in my stomach. Well that 16 i haven't measured in a couple weeks so it could be more. Once you get past the liquids stage, it gets easier. I cried and regretted it during that stage. But it does get better!

I was sleeved by Dr Avara on 9/24/13. Am very happy with my decision and results. I am down 90 lbs and have 20 more to go. I couldn't have asked for a better group of folks to help me through my journey. Trisha is great and can get you motivated!

Good luck!

      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.
