Hi,

I found out last week my surgery date is 2/12, I very nervous. My daughter just had LBS 12/10 so at least I have some up close experience, she's doing great! She started exercising and is trying to handle no restriction,but I'm still very anxious!!!! and concerned about the 2 week liquid diet my surgeon requires. We'll be great, Good Luck to all of us:thumbup:

Hey guys!!

My date is February 8! Nervous and excited. My preop diet starts next Monday - 3 weeks! - and I'm really dreading it but determined to follow it perfectly.

Janelle - I noticed you are having surgery in Cincinnati. Who's your doctor? I'm having surgery in Cinci with Dr. Curry.

I'm excited to make some new friends that will be going through this with me!

Hey Stacey! I'm Stacey too!

Hey Everyone!

I have scheduled my surgery for 2/5/10 in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. A few people (of the very few that I have told) are very happy and excited for me, others are not happy that I'm going to Mexico and think that I'm putting my health in jeopardy. I want to tell them to bug-off but that wouldn't be very nice. Any advise for me on how to handle this?

Hey, I am getting my surgery done by Dr. Ortiz as well. My mom just had hers done a few days ago and she LOVED it down there. They are super gfreat, very professional, no issues whatsoever! I don't think that just because it is in Mexico, people should assume there is something wrong with it! It is a really great facility and everything will be great! I am going on February 22, so you are a bit ahead of me!

      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.
