Hi. Thanks for writing back so quickly. I'm always curious where folks are from. I think it's kinda kinda neat to think of locations. I will be done at West Penn as well. Who did your surgery? I will be done by Dr Eid. April/May.

How are you doing at this point? How was your overall experience?

Hello MommyT01!!!

Welcome! I have not went to any information meetings although I may go to one this month. I'd love to sit and listen to what others have to say. How about you? Have you went to any yet?

I am going to my 3rd visit Jan 7th with the physician assistant, NUT and now the psychologist at this visit. I'm half way!!! 3 more visits after this! Monday I'm having an endoscopy and next week I have a second sleep study to do since they discovered I have apnea???? What area in Pittsburgh are you from? And where will you be having your surgery?

      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.
