That is cool that you were at the seminar as well. I was able to bring my two biggest supporters with me, my son and niece. I felt more at ease to see he is also anal and has a great sense of humor. The first funny thing that happen when I got there was when I had to sign in Eva, was super happy and goes you mist be April. All I could do is laugh. My niece was shock that Eva know who I was before asking for my name. It was priceless! I feel can trust Dr Goldstein. Where do you live at? What have you done so far?

It is great to see all y'all wonderful people on this page, i wish everyone the best of luck. I know that can be hard, and make second guess if you are doing the right thing or even test your patience but keep your head and think positive. I look at it as an ultimate goal and greatest challenge I have face. Once you have done what you have completed it will be all worth it on the end. I'm here for support if you need me. Keep up the hard work and good luck!!

Hey Tazi, I'm in Lindenwold NJ also! I started my journey last month and I am halfway through all my clearances (all these copays are killing me). My surgeon Dr. Medvetz is through Our Lady of Lourdes out in Willingboro! Good luck in your journey!

I'm from new Jersey also ! Old bridge new jersey my surgeon is Dr sadek . All I have left is the gastro did the psychtrist cardiac nutrionist and pulmonary surgery date is June 10th. make sure for insurance purposes you follow up that all these approvals are getting faxed to the surgeons . Found out today that my nutrionist never faxed my evaluation so now I'm double checking that everyone sends it all over

      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.
