Bronx ny, montifiore hospital rny



Recommended Posts

I guess everything can't be perfect. Montifiore seems like a good hospital. I think they just have way too many patients. I think they need to slow down a bit on that. It's hard with all the obesity issues in ny and montifiore gets a lot of patients that have been referred by others that had they're surgery there. Happy you are on your way to a healthier you. I know the process might not be what you would imagine it to be but who really knows that? Only the ones that have gone through it. Not even the surgeons know. They only can tell you how it may feel and how things may go after surgery. My process has been long cause I stopped at the end of all tests and weight management because of switching jobs and not having insurance. Now I have insurance and trying to continue where I left off. Hoping that I can finish the process this time. let's see what happens. I finished my 2 support groups, and I have an appointment with doctor choi August 26 , last nutri app August 20th let's see what happens.. dde09

Good luck with everything hun!

      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.
