Hi,

Thanks! I had it done by Dr. Aceves., same as you. Do you live in AZ?

Yes, I live in North Central Phoenix. You should join us for our bandster lunches! We usually meet at Sweet Tomatoes on I17/Dunlap on Saturdays around noon about once a month or so. Nothing formal, just a get together. Most are Dr. A patients.

Isn't Dr. A great? Isn't the hospital clean? I can't imagine going anywhere else but him for this kind of surgery.

I was there Saturday with a friend and she was shocked at the staff and how great the hospital was.

If you want to join us for bandster lunches just PM me an email address and I'll add you to our list. We are due for another lunch soon anyway.

Hey, WABB, didn't realize you are an Arizonan! We are headed north for December, but will be back down here in January. I would love to join the lunch group after the holidays. You already have my email address, so please add it to your lunch list! My husband and I (both bandsters) live out west past Surprise.

      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.
