Hi,

I'm in North Atlanta and having RYGB in late 2016. Doing the pre-op diet and exercise now. My surgeon is Dr. Hart from Atlanta Bariatrics. I'm a 50 y.o. male trying to get healthy for my wife and daughter. Any other men out there starting the same journey?

Hey Chris,

I know I not a male but I saw your post, since I'm from Atlanta too, I just wanted to reply. I'm Tori. I'm 28 in age but probably 60 in my mind. lol! I'm having the RYGB August 4th at Emory Johns Creek with Dr Williams, I think our surgeons are in the same group. I don't know about you but I'm pretty nervous, excited, and a whole list of other emotions. Like yourself I want to get healthy for myself and for the family I plan to have in the very near future. Have you been to any support groups in the area? I hope everything goes well with your journey! :)

Hey Tori,

Thanks for the reply. Dr. Williams is an different group I think but I'm having the surgery at Emory Johns Creek as well. It's a first-rate facility from what I can tell. Still looking for support groups but I have a little time yet.

Best wishes for your surgery. I'm sure that it will go great and you'll be glad you had the operation. Keep me posted on what you think of the hospital and the staff.

Chris

      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.
