When did you get your surgery? It must feel good to be under 300!

Great! I guess there aren't many people around me, but my fellow Massachusettsians are a great start! :) Do you know when you are having your surgery done?

I'm done with all my pre-op testing and they are submitting to insurance next week. I should have a surgery date any day now!

That's wonderful! I will be done with my pre-op testing soon, too. I think I make an appointment with my surgeon on the 13th of February or so! I am so excited. Although I just quit smoking today, so I have to wait 8 weeks before surgery.

That's awesome. Quitting must make things harder! What made you choose Dr. Pecquex? I was referred to Dr. McCluney who is the Assistant Director of the Steward Center for Weight Loss but I don't know much about him...

Rose,

They actually chose her for me. I didn't know all the docs, so I just went with the one they suggested. I go to Holy Family Hospital, and will have the surgery elsewhere, but I forget where. Maybe we will be in the same hospital! :)

I bet it's St. Elizabeth's Medical Center where I'm going! I think that's where the surgeries are done. Have you been to any local support groups? They have them at St. E's

      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.
