Thanks for all the encouragement. It is very helpful. I am drinking about 90-100 oz of water a day. I am drinking 3 protein shakes per day. I found a shake I like. That is not the problem. I am also allowed to eat SF Jello and Popsicles. I can also have all the green leafy vegetables I want. Today is day 3 of the pre-op diet. My surgery is Nov. 21st. At work, I'm so busy, I don't even think about the hunger. But, I have an hour drive home each evening and that's when the hunger hits. I can do this. Just needed some encouragement. Thanks guys.

Started my pre-op diet today. Hasn't been too bad so far.

I will be there from the 20th and I leave on the 26th.

My surgery is scheduled for Nov. 21st. I will be arriving on Nov. 20th. I am going alone so would love to meet up with other that are going. I will be having band to sleeve revision surgery.

My surgery is scheduled for November 21st with Dr. Ariel Ortiz at Obesity Control Center. I will arrive at the Marriott on Nov. 20th. Possibly coming alone so would be great to meet up with some people.

I will be having my band to sleeve revision surgery on November 21st with Dr. Ortiz. Starting my preop on Nov. 6th.

Jen_1381 - what do you feel is the most important thing that is aiding in your success? Could you give us a sample of what your daily meals look like?

What is your caloric intake? You look fabulous!!!! Congratulations.

I live about an hour from you in DeRidder, LA. I went to Dr. Ortiz in July 2008. He was great. I work at a hospital and I could not get over how clean their facility was. It was the best choice I have ever made.
