Great to hear! I'm going to make my first apt with Dr Rothchild.

How many nights in the hospital? Gas pain or muscle? food going ok?

I am meeting with my pcp for a physical and to start my insurance required 6 mo dr monitored weight loss next week. Besides being required, I want to show the dr I am committed but I just can't get there alone. have started pushing hard and working out 4 days a week for the last 2 weeks, which I haven't done concistiently since high school team sports.

I made my apt with Dr Rothchild for the first week of Aug and I'm beyond excited! Is it strange I'm already anticipating the count down to surgery 6+ mo away?!

I'd love to meet with others for an informal support group. Id rather be in a smaller group to get to know folks. Let me know who's in!

Maybe we could create a FB group and that way we can keep up with each other easier online and set up meetings that way too? Just a suggestion.

      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.
