I'm in Charlotte, did not use him though. I used Craig Kolasch of Southeast Bariatrics. Any recommendations for a great nutritionist?

How far out pre-op are you? I ended up going with another Dr. From the one I listed. I couldn't get my schedule to mesh with his to even get an initial appointment... I went with Dr. Keith Gersin at Carolinas Weight Management.

I'm still pre-op so don't know of any nutritionists yet. I'll be using there on staff person and see how it goes. Hopefully I click with the person and make lasting changes.. Good luck finding someone.. Keep me posted please ????

I had my surgery with Dr Gersin at cwmc. My old roomie had her surgery with Kuwada, and has lost 138lbs in a year. She had RNY as did I. May 5th was my surgery and I'm down 60lbs from April 22nd pre-op to now June 18th ???? good luck on your journey....

My pleasure... The thread May Peeps that I started, we post all the time encouraging ideas, and support one another so much. So if you feel like checking out that thread, you won't regret it. And how cool that we both go to same weight loss clinic. And of course this whole website is supportive, I just meant we really have all bonded, as much as you can over the web lol...

I went to a seminar earlier this month. I have 1st appointment with Dr. Kawada August 6th!! I'm going with Dr Kawada vs Dr Gersin because Kawada did my seminar and I was really impressed by him!!! I hope to have surgery in November 2015. It's really good to find people that are going to the same doctors!! YAY!!!

I bet you are so excited!!!!! August is right around the corner... Good luck on your journey, and start practicing chewing your food 20-30 times a bite and I use the app Eat Slower, to help me establish a slower eating habit. It's way harder than you think. Especially for me, I inhaled my food before 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.
