I am scheduled for surgery in May at Bayshore with Dr Strom too!

I've only seen Dr Strom at my first visit and the day of surgery. I can say he did a great job because I am alive (lol) and I had no complications. He also performed the surgery of a friend and she is 5 months post op. You really do see all the dr's in the practice. I saw a different dr at my final pre op appt, another who was on duty the weekend I was in the hospital (I believe his name was dr rob) a woman dr at my first post op appt. I'm not good with names but they were all great! I didn't have the best hospital experience.. It was ok. I would try to have as much support as possible there for you. I chose to not tell many people and not to have visitors.. But I was ok post surgery. I was up and walking around the hallways the first night. I did however see some of the other people who had surgery when we went for x-rays who seemed to be worst off than me. I didn't see anyone walking in the hallways and the woman I shared the room with was in so much pain she didn't walk at all the entire stay. (Her mom stayed in our room both nights) Don't get me wrong I used that morphine drip all day Friday and Sat morning but after that I only had Tylenol w/cod Sat night and nothing on Sunday. If you can walk... I had no problems with gas. The process was not easy and in retrospect I should have had someone come atleast to visit. I think I had a tougher time the first week at home ( probably from lack of sleep and I got a cold from my 8 year old my second day home).
Anyone have surgery at S.o.c.h.?

      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.
