Hi - I am from San Diego and had my consultation yesterday (Wed) and rec'd my date today - Oct. 21!!! That is only 3 weeks away! Next week I go to have a few tests. I will be on a two week fast. I am so excited and nervous. I will have my surgery at UCSD w/Dr. Horgan. I met there staff and they seemed very nice and supportive. Has anyone used them?

How are you doing since surgery? I will be having my surgery October 8th. I am getting a little nervous but excited. What kind of diet did you have to go on before surgery?

Actually, I have my first appointment with Dr. Horgan next Weds Dec 3rd. I'm so glad i came across your profile. I haven't found anyone in the San Diego Area. Let alone with the same Doc. Can you please let me know how the staff at the office and hospital was like? How did you hear about Dr. Horgan? hope we can become buddies....

      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.
