Hi there. I just registered and thought I should let you know I'm here. I am pre-op. I am waiting to see the surgeon and that is set for September25th, and at that time I'll be able to set the surgery date!!I have questions regarding clear liquid phase, but I'll post those in the proper place later. I look forward to chating with you all out there.

Hi there...I live in Northfield Minnesota. Where are you having your surgery? The date is so soon- how are you feeling? Are you a member of the Obesity Surgery Support Group in Minnesota? Most are RNY folks, but it's nice to have people who have worked with the same doctors. Best of luck, and let me know how I can be supportive! I'm in the pre-pre stage- going to the informational meeting at Abbott this Friday. I'm SOO ready to get the ball rolling.

Hi Megan! I have not yet set the date for the surgery, but when I meet with the surgeon on September 25th, we'll set the date. My dietician thought I could possibly have surgery as soon as the first part of October!!

I'm so glad to hear from another Minnesota pre-bander, I was feeling a little lonely:)

Keep me updated on your journey as well...Good Luck!!

Sheryl

      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.
