Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Jennifer and I am having my surgery in a few weeks. I am sooooo excited and scared as hell at the same time. I was wondering what I needed to buy before I have my surgery to be prepared. Any help will be very much appreciated. Also has anyone been operated on by Dr. Glen Moore? Thanks!!!

Welcome to the VA board! I would recommend you buy samples instead of big canisters as your tastes may change post op.GNC will take back their product within their time frame noted, with a receipt. You can check out the OH store on this web site, look up JillDennis on my friends and link to her store, unjury.com and bariatriceating.com are some of the ones I use. Foods post op are usually pureed, semi soft. Your doc/nutritionist should give you info on what to have. Usually it is yogurts, cottage cheese, refried beans, cream of wheat. I have many listed on my profile. Keep coming back to us. Everyone here is full of words of support and encouragement.

Hi Gwen. Thanks for the welcome! I know you must be excited about your pre op date. I know I was. I can't believe surgery is around the corner for me. What doc are you seeing? Keep in touch please. Jenna

Hi Jennifer-- Welcome to our party. I am a patient of Dr. Spencer's, but I know Dr. Moore from their practice. He is a first rate guy. Are you going to be at our support group Thursday?

I had weight loss surgery. I did it the easy way.
