Hey Texas Sleevers,

I'm not from TX, but have a surgery date in Dallas on Wed 6/22. I expect I will be discharged either Thursday or Friday. I'm traveling alone and trying to figure out a little glitch. I have to be "checked out" by someone. I'll have a place to stay arranged close by, but they aren't sure the hospital will let me take a taxi - going to check on that next week.

Just wondering if someone in the Dallas area might be willing to "check me out". I'm pretty sure it could be arranged towards the end of the day for anyone working and I'll have money for gas to reimburse you.

If you or anyone you know might be willing to help out a future sleever, please let me know. Thanks.

      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.
