Which FB group?

There is a 'secret' Facebook group for patients of Dr. Fitzer. You get an invite once you have attended one of his monthly support groups.

There are 2 secret FB groups for Dr. Fitzer's patients. I can invite you to both if you PM me your e-mail address. Debbie (support group leader) will add you, even if you haven't been to a group yet.

The second one is the ultra-secret recipe group. I just nominated you for it. :D

A little sore...still pretty gassy but a lot better than yesterday. Nervous now about Water intake and either not getting enough or popping my pouch. I’m sure I’ll be fine....I’m a worrier. Lol

You'll be fine. I'm a worrier too. Just listen to your body. You'll be straight. Congrats again.

Went to see Suzanne yesterday, and she told me it would be my last appointment with her because she's moving and leaving the practice. Her replacement Jessica was shadowing her.

      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.
