I need a buddy too! I am in Mesa.





Well, I am a male obviously but my wife is planning on getting sleeved in April.
I have been trying to get her to create an account on here.
I will try to get her to sign up.
My insurance requires a six month waiting period, so mine won't be until August [emoji22]

Who is the surgeon? I haven't heard of that place. I am going to Banner University (Good Sam). It's kind of a far drive but I like the surgeon.

I think Weight Loss Institute of Arizona has been around for a while.
They have billboards all over Phoenix.
Surgeon's name is Dr. Orris.
You can check out their website and Facebook page.

Are you using Blackstone at Banner?

I apologize, I just realized you are getting the gastric bypass.
We are getting sleeved.
My apologies for the confusion.

      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.
