Hi Beni welcome to the Nova thread. I'm in staying connected with people who use bluepoint Surgical group and how they're progressing before during and after surgery. Dr fitzer is with Blue Point Surgical Group right? Are you having your surgery at Fair Oaks? Must be getting ready to start your pre-op liquid diet soon. Have you felt your experience has been so far with all the pre op stuff the doctor visits the nut visits etc. Stay in touch if you want my surgery is November 4th at fair Oaks

Hi Becca I can't believe you're only days away from your surgery. How are you doing? Are you getting nervous are you excited? Just touching base to stay in touch. Good luck on the 21st. I loved Dr moazzez when I met him.... You're in great hands. Let me know how the hospital is once you're finished your surgery and feel a little up to it. Curious how your experience while in the hospital goes. Talk to you later

Hi Jenn!

I am both excited and nervous, but mostly ready for this to be over!! I really like Dr. Moazzez, too. He let me do a 1 week pre-op diet instead of the normal 2 week, because I can't stand the taste of the Protein shakes! Plus, he told me to get whatever kind I can drink, although this was after I paid for the stuff they make you buy at the office! Oh well. I'm just glad I am not having to drink it!! I hope you like it when it's your time to start.

I will let you know how all goes once I get home! Thanks for thinking about me!! See you on the other side!!!!! :D

      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.
