Oh, they wont know you've done badly. I was asked my weight by the anaesthetist but not weighed. My surgeon said dont bother about the Optifast, you dont need to really shrink your liver, but everyone else mentioned it to me, so I rang his office, there was nothing on my file, his secretary told me to start and she would check with him, he said no, dont bother but I kind of half did it anyway and then after the surgery he asked me if I lose much weight on the Optifast! He had no clue! They cant tell by looking at your insides what you've been eating.

Oh Suki, I am so glad I saw your post. I have been trying to remember who it was that asked me for my doctors information and when I saw your post, I realized it was you and that I never sent it to you. I apologize, here's the information you asked for:

Dr. Eddie Gomez

305-285-5090

3661 South Miami Avenue

Suite 301

Miami, FL 33133

You and your Mom are both in my prayers that all goes well for both of you. I wish you two a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

Cindy

      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.
