I had my surgery back in July and everything went perfect, 1 night stay at hospital, only took pain meds for 2 day after i got home just to sleep and back to work 1 week after. I have no issue, no dumping etc.. the only thing is that everything at the beginning taste different. I purchase a ton of sugar free puddings, Jello, popsicles amd even the Vitamins and could and still can not stand them to sweet for me. Good luck message me if you have any questions

That’s great to hear from some who can relate to the same dr. I’ve heard good things about dr. Matei. I will be sending my papers in for approval next week let’s see how all goes. How much have you lost so far?

In total so far 37 pounds I am a slow loser but I am ok with that. I eat small meals about 4oz and that's it. but I have had chocolate and no dumping. The only restriction is I get full quickly, so at this time I only eat Protein. Good luck, keep me updated and if you have any question I am here.

I could lose more, need to start doing exercise. But I am at the stall everyone talks about. The good think no more high blood pressure meds, and feeling great. You are in good hands, the hard part is getting ready for surgery, and nerves. But after that it has been great. Good luck.

      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.
