Recommended Posts

Haha Vicki,

The goal is to do the best each of us can. 10 lbs seems like a nice long shot so anything close would be a bonus right. Keep on truckin.

Good luck to all. I think that we should post our weight loss every thursday.

Hey, can't blame me for trying....:biggrin:

Hello everyone! I'm very new to this site but was very excited to find this forum about Dr. Hoffman. Hubby and I go on the 23rd, and providing everything is in, we get our surgery dates. We were originally scheduled with Posner, but hubby saw Hoffman in the hall and asked if that was our doctor. I told him no. He said that it should be. So, I called the office and they gladly switched us to Hoffman. Dr. Hoffman was so wonderful at our last visit, and he is so encouraging!!! Looking forward to this journey with him!

Hello buffalo friends. I attended the seminar with my hubby. Somewhat informative. I am trying to get a surgery date before december...we shall see if that happens. Did anyone use Dr. Posner? My brother (a plastic surgeon) said that posner has a better surgical record than hoffman but hoffman just seems so much more personable (not to mention hot). Any feedback?

Who else was at the 9/17 seminar?

      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.
