I had dr Krueger as well he did both my sleeve and later my gallbladder surgery as I had to have it removed after surgery

I hear that gallbladder surgery is needed for a lot of bariatric patients. I had mines removed years ago and it was extremely unpleasant. I couldn't imagine having it taken out right after bariatric surgery. You look fabulous I'm glad it all worked out for you

I'm in Pascoag going through Dr. Pohl. Everything but my last 2 nutritionist appointments are already completed!

My name is Becky From RI and am considering Dr Pohl. I know someone who had him and was thrilled. I have my seminar date as 2/11.

Good luck to all!

      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.
