Recommended Posts

My anethesiologist called me about 8pm to chat. He said he likes to call all of his patients the day before and visit, to relax any nerves, and to ask a few questions. So, we chatted for about 15 minutes and said goodnight, see you in the morning.

I am scared and excited. I hate that feeling because its a really wierd feeling. You want something so bad but scared to do it.

So how are you doing Froggin?

I just found this place as I am back to researching WLS. I have enjoyed reading your posts along your journey - and am now wanting the update. LOL

funny you mentioned the 6 month thing and Fran at Penrose. Yeah - I called her 6 months ago and was told I had to do that 6 month thing (my insurance is BCBS TX). I said I knew that, but my general dr. thought I did that with the bariatric program. She said NOPE - that I had to do it with him. So - here I am 6 months later and I lost 23 pounds (gotta love phentermine huh?) anyway - Dr. Perlman, who I was referred to, is gone up to Denver now. I got mixed reviews from 2 locals here who went elsewhere. I'm checking into Dr. Johnell in Greeley (highly recommended) and then Dr. Chae in Lone Tree - just cuz I've read about him. Johnell won't see me until my BMI is back up to 35. yeah - I lost TOO MUCH weight. good grief. now to gain back 7 lbs. Fran has yet to call me back when I left a message last week.

Dr. Chae will see me the end of next week and I'm taking my DH with me. I'll be sure to eat lots of "water-retaining" food the night before. LOL

Does anyone know how to change personal info? It says I am 11 years old!!!!! OMG! I am 31! I typed the year wrong...1997...my daughter's age! I was supposed to type 1977. Oops!

Hi Froggin' at the top left of your page click on "user cp" then on left side click on "edit details" and you should be able to fix you age there.

I hope that helps.

      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.
