I'm Kate. I'm 64. I thought I was the only "old lady" crazy enough to think about weight loss surgery.

I'm in the middle of all the pre- op testing. No surgery date yet. I'm looking forward to "meeting" you all. Anyone else here who had their surgery at St Peter's in Albany, NY?

I know two women that had WLS in Albany, NY, but I think both of them went to Albany MED.

How are you doing since your surgery? Do you live in the Albany area. I live in Stamford, NY and looking for a WLS friend close to home.

Hope you are healthy and happy,

Valentina

Syracuse??? Why we're practically neighbors in a upstate NY kinda way!

I used to show my poodles at the State Fair Grounds in Syracuse twice a year and I have two nephews who live in Liverpool.

It's great to have a Buddy this close. It seems that most of the folks on BP are from the south or west.

Anyway, I just wanted to say "Howdy", from The Catskills!!

      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.
