@@Ruby Woo Do you know the Playa Vista Option class schedule? or is there a website where we can see the class schedule? In order for me to arrange child care and etc, I would like heads up on when the classes are held.

If anybody had their options classes at Playa vista Location, I would appreciate any info!! Thanks!!

I am 7 weeks out from my surgery. I had a very difficult time in Stage 2 or puréed foods. Take your time progressing and be sure to drink lots of Water and Protein. If something doesn't seem to settle, try something else. Also, be sure to start out taking the Nexium the prescribe to you - it helps so much. I'm open for questions should you have any. Good luck to you!

@doctordilly. We are only going to be a day apart! I can honestly say I am equal parts excited and scared. I start pre op next week and I think i am ready to get this ball rolling! I am sick and tired of carrying all this weight around on my bad hip. Hopefully as I lose my bad hip will not be my bad hip any longer! And ohhhh the shopping that is going to be going on this time next year!!!!! Good luck to you and get ready cuz here we go!!!

@@feedee thank you so much for offering to answer questions. I feel that I have asked every question I possibly could but I know more will creep up and knowing there is someone close to my start date to ask is very comforting! I hope each day only gets easier for you and I just know you are going to rock this journey!

Bring your own pillow and maybe a warm blanket. Those were two things I wished I would have brought. ???? Also, make sure someone is with you the entire time. You will need the support. One more thing - I took Gas X strips with me to help push out all the air they put in your tummy. It helped so much.

      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.
