Hi. My parents live in AZ city right near you. I'm in Las Cruces near El Paso. I'm 9 months out and started at 352. I would love to support you any way I can;)

Hi, I live here in AZ too and will also have Dr. Fang as my surgeon! The end of April marks my completion of 6 months supervised weight loss. I just had my psych evaluation and have a sleep study coming up in 2 weeks. I weigh 270 and am 5'9 so am just on the borderline of a BMI of 40. Hoping my insurance approves me without a fight. I needs this!!

I winter in Casa Grande, usually from October to April, where I reside at the Val Vista RV Resort north of town. I am pre-surgery at this time and would like to have someone in CG to visit with. If you're interested in a WL friend, just let me know. Good luck on your journey. *-)

Hi Marlene, I live in Maricopa and visit CAsa grande frequently, I am pre-op now but plan on surgery sometime late November early December. How old are you? When are you planning on having surgery and at what clinic? Also you can find me on Facebook under Jennifer hardison and then I can add you to our Phx area local support group page. Can't wait to hear back from you

      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.
