Old Bridge, NJ, with a surgery date of November 7th at Bayshore. I grew up in Sayreville/Parlin. It's nice to see a lot of "neighbors" here! :)

I have Dr. Strom...I like him alot, although everyone so far has been super nice. I had my first nutrition with David yesterday. He was nice, too, but almost seemed a little unsure at times. Honestly, I wish my primary care physician's employees and nurses were as nice! My PCP has one or two excellent employees while the rest talk about patients behind the glass lol! I missed the last support group so I'll be at the September 11th one. :D

So close I live in Perth amboy previously in Parlin

I still kind of miss the area but it isn't the same. Totally changed from when I was a kid (SWMHS class of 1990). When I was a kid my pediatrition was in Perth Amboy, across the street from the hospital. Dr. Maktel died in 1991, though, his practice is long gone. I hated going over the bridge, coz I knew I'd end up getting a shot lol! :wacko:

      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.
