Good luck. Hey Pjpanda, my Dr is Dr. Welle in the same office. Good luck to you. I am still in the beginning stages. I see the psychologist this coming Tuesday. Then they will send to insurance. I am hoping for a July date, that is, if my insurance approves me.

Dr Welle is amazing, he did all but my final pre-op appointment and Egd. Unfortunately had a family emergency and I couldn't take time off to postpone (my request for time off was already in and mostly covered) so they transferred me, luckily just a day later. Good luck on approval and that July date

Hello. I am having my surgery tomorrow as well (may 21) having a rough time with the bowel prep I had to do today but all worth it. I hope everyone has a smooth, successful surgery.

      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.
