Who is your surgeon? My surgery went really well. I am 3 months out now and 48 pounds lighter! It was the best decision I have made in a very long time and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. You'll do great. Good luck!

Hi everyone! I am from Dover, DE and having bypass surgery on Wednesday with Dr. Singh from CHRIAS. I went through the Bayhealth Bariatric program and they were wonderful! I started my journey in April with my first seminar. I am so glad to have had the time to attend nutrition meetings and support group. If anyone is interested, there is a support group mtg at Bayhealth the first Wed evening each month at 5:30pm.

Two more days!! Hopeful for a good experience. I will post later this week!!

I live in New Castle County and I just had my 1st nutrition class, I met with Dr. Peters for the consult and I had my lab work done, so it would be nice to go through this process with someone who knows what I'm going through. Good luck everyone!

I'm in Newark, DE and am in the 2nd month of my 6 month pre-auth process. Just went to my 2nd nutrition class this morning. Dr. Peters did my seminar, and I was assigned Dr. Halbert for my surgery. I'm not finding her in the directory here, wondering if anyone has worked with her. Thanks!

Hi Abby, I'm right there with you, this will be second month of nutrition classes and dr. Peters will be doing my surgery. I live in Bear and I don't have a date yet but thinking it won't be until March because of the 7 months of preparations. Maybe we can keep in touch and support each other.

Good luck to you! And I wish you much success!

Annie

      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.
