I'm near the King of Prussia area, work in Rockledge. Haven't had procedure yet but going to Einstein East Norriton.

That's where I had my surgery. It's a really nice hospital--my mom who is an RN came from out of state for my surgery and was very impressed with the facility and the care I received. Which surgeon are you with--Dallal or Trang?

I'm at the very beginning of this. Been down this road in the past and it didn't work out. Since I'm starting over with a new hospital and surgeon my family and I are going to a meeting on 11/28. No surgeon yet.

Bonster21387 If you have not 100% picked a facility and doctor I would suggest you look at Barix Clinic in Langhorne. I used a surgeon that is no longer there but I really liked the facility and the nursing staff. They specialize in Bariatrics. Of the nurses that took care of me they all had about 11 years of bariatric nursing with the least experience being 10 years. They had all worked a Barix for a long time.

      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.
