Hi Paula78, we have state-specific forums. When you're looking for people from a specific area, you'll probably have the best luck by posting there. Not that you won't get responses here, but they will be "concentrated" there. :)

Tracy,

I'm sending you good wishes for your upcoming surgery. I know everything will go well. You will be in good hands with Dr. Malley.

Did you attend his last support group? I thought I read on one of your posts that you attended a support group? How was it? I wanted to go but couldn't get away from work. How many people attended? Was the exchange of information useful to you?

I hope you get some sleep between now and Thursday. I know it will be hard as the excitement builds. Good luck and let me know how everything turned out.

      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.
