Hello all,

I'm relocating to San Francisco from CT/NY area on Friday August 29, 2013 and need to find a post op care dietitian and surgeon in the Bay Area. I am 10 months post op. Any and all advice is appreciated.

I live in the bay and have Kaiser for insurance. I had mine at the South San Fran Kaiser and they are great. I've been seeing them since 2009 for band adjustments and then they did my sleeve revision in June this year.

Thanks you all for your suggestions. With the help of my surgeon's staff I was able to find. Surgeon who would take on another surgeon's patient (who would of thought that would be an issue?).

Hey BrothaMike I was sleeved October 14, 2013. I can't believe it's been that long wow! I started working with my trainer 1 month after surgery and went at it hard 6 days a week for the honeymoon period of the first 6 months. Now Inweight train 5 days a week loving every minute. Who would of thought I would become a gym rat! LOL

      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.
