I did the HMR fast a few years ago and it was okay. I was not really hungry after the first few days. I am required to lose about8% pre-op so I am trying to eat more like I will after surgery - smaller portions, hgiher Protein, Water IN BETWEEN meals, not with... - but as I get closer I will be switching to liquids at least one week post -op. I am not sure yet because I am still a few months out (Jan). Good luck! And (((HUGS)))

Hi all! I am a newbie out in Abilene (2 hours due west from Ft Worth) and I am pre-sleeve and pre-doctor. I have narrowed to my top three (I think?) and am moving forward from there. There is no one local, so I am looking in the metroplex (DFW) and in OKC (where our family all live to help with my 6 and 2 yr old children) and Dr Alvarez. I am self pay but need to wait until the new year (probably, for FSA usage) and get all my presurgery stuff together. I look forward to learning more.
