Kinda off topic but I would like to bring a nice gift for the staff at my Bariatric office. They have been so helpful , above and beyond what I expected. I know I can't/ shouldn't bring them candy but I was thinking a nice fruit basket . Has anyone done this before, and how did you show your appreciation besides paying your bill ??

That's a great idea! I think I'll be doing the same. I love the surgeon and staff of the center where I go. They're so nice and doing everything for me. Flowers, fruit, gift certificates-movies, massages, cash gift cards, a nice handwritten letter of appreciation....

I think this is a great idea, too. I'd thought of sending the staff of my surgeon's office a New Year's card but never did. I need to do something. There was also an amazing nurse in recovery. Need to send her something. Thanks for bringing this up!

I think all these are really great ideas. Personally, I like the hand written note the best. I should think about those supporting me and figure out something for them. Thank you for the great idea!

I think one of the nicest things you can do for your surgeon and their team is to write a glowing online review........the gift that keeps on giving ;-) I also sent a beautiful card to my surgeon and his staff. They were wonderful.

      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.
