Hey DavidBC how's it going just checking on you hope all is well

Going great! It's been 2 weeks and I'm down 17 lbs. since surgery and 53 lbs. overall. I've had no issues to speak of except trying to get my fiber/miralax dosage ironed out and finding a Calcium pill I can take. I go to my first post-opt appt with Dr. Johnson tomorrow. Very glad I made this decision and looking forward to traveling a lot more in the years to come.

Hey DavidBC how are you doing tell me about your journey so far I have one more nutrition visit the 26 of this month tell me we have the best doctor?

I don't know if he's the best but Dr Johnson is a good one!

I'm doing great after 5 weeks! Been dropping 5 to 6 lbs per week and no real problems once I got the proper amount of Fiber down. Like many folks say I just wished I would have done this sooner!

I'm hardly ever on here anymore, but this post caught my eye today. I live in Athens, and was sleeved by Dr. Paul Macik at Northside. He was really good, and his office staff is great. I'm 3 years out this month. Because of the distance, I didn't go to the support groups at the hospital regularly, but I did join several WLS groups on FB, in addition to being here. Good luck to each of y'all!! :)

      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.
