Hi,

I am pre-op and all I have left is the psych work up, how did you find this to be? What was it all about? Who did you go to? Thanks in advance.

I used Mauri Waldman - she is in Goshen. I was very comfortable with her and she was one of the people recommended by Dr.Kwon's office. Also, she has a support group twice a month which I found very helpfulGood luck!

Hi,

Do any of you ladies still attend support group meetings now that you are post-op? Do you find that they really help? I attend support group meetings, I am pre-op and I find that they are really helpful. I plan to continue when I am post-op.

I used the psychologist in PA. I go to the support meeting in Goshen with Mauri. If you can go to Mauri do so ,She makes you feel at ease. Best of luck with everything.

      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.
