SF Bay Area? (California)



Recommended Posts

Hello all.

I live in California, in the San Francisco Bay Area. I haven't had surgery but am in the process. Just wondering if there are any other locals on here!

Hi! Sorry, completely missed I had a reply.

I've done 4/6 nutritionist visits. Scheduled for surgery in December, assuming insurance approves!

I'm from Lodi and also using South Sac. I see my surgeon nov 30. I've lost 8 lbs in 4 weeks. Can't wait to find out how much weight I have to lose before my surgery is scheduled. Congratulations on your upcoming surgery date

Hey there.

I live in San Quentin, CA. I'll be starting orientation at the South San Francisco Kaiser on January 9, 2018.

You'll be having your surgery in two days if I did my math right. Keep us posted in how it goes.

Best of luck to you.

April,

Good luck tomorrow. If you're anxious before your surgery, ask for an anti-anxiety pill (or injection). Just tell them you're anxious and if there's anything they can give you.

Where are you having your surgery?

Let us know how you're doing on the flip side when you're able.

Good luck tomorrow. Will keep you in my prayers.

UC Davis in Sacramento.
I started getting really depressed after doing bowel prep so hopefully we can work something out

      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.
