I just moved to Moncks Corner, SC from FL. I have a tentative date of Dec 15 for surgery with Dr Mitchell in Charleston. I am still trying to decide bypass or sleeve, I have to decide by Monday - they are submitting everything for pre certification then. Any input from your experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, my daughter and I used Dr. Mitchell, he and his staff and the entire hospital staff are amazing!! We both went with the RNY and it's the best decision we ever made. I'm 5 months on the 4th and my daughter is 4 months on the 7th. Trust Dr. Mitchell he won't lead you wrong!!

      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.
