piercedqt78 did you go to Romeoville High School? My son is the same age as you. What a small world you also live in Romeoville, I to am a disney lover.lol How long did it take you to loose all of your weight. Soniacan, how far are you from Romeoville? Yes, getting together would be just great. My doctor has said nothing about testing me for a leak, I asked him if it was possible and he said no. But how would he know for sure if he did not take any test. Who did your surgeries. Thank you for writing me back it was nice to hear from someone so close. Yes i would love to get lunch, maybe the three of us could get together since we all live so close?

No I didn't go to Romeoville High. But I work for the district. I also have a child in the district. We moved here almost 2 years ago from Chicago Ridge. I had my surgery with Dr. Lahmann at Silver Cross, love him. I lost the bulk of my weight the first 18 months. I have about 20 or 25 pounds to go. I'm pretty happy where I am now, so I really don't stress about it. I went from a 22-24 to a size 10-12 now. Sonia and I are meeting for lunch either tomorrow or sunday, what's good for you? ~Mandy

I am using Dr. Lutfi at Mercy hospital in Chicago. They are slower than all get out, but they are taking care of all of the paperwork. Has anyone had experience with him? My surgery is 4/8

My sister just moved to lindenhurst, and I would love to meet people too! Count me in!

      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.
