Good luck you two! Will sending positive thoughts your way monday. So exciting. Support group is at NE Baptist OR Conference Room on the first floor at the other end of the hospital from the center the third thursday of every month. They'll probably tell you about it at your first week nutrition and exercise info sessions. The head psychologist is doing the program about life changes I think so it should be good.

I will have my surgery in San Antonio by Dr. Patel also. Do you have any idea how far ahead he books his surgeries? Also, how long after you got insurance approval did you get a date of surgery? I am just interested in some sort of timeline. Thanks for your reply.

Are you having it at foundation hospital? Good luck. Forgot to answer your questions. Yes I did the two week preop diet and lost 19 pounds. You're in good hands. Did fine and doing fine. Have lost 125 pounds so far. Still a lot to go.

Roseib, did you have Dr Sonny Cavazos? I heard he is great. He is doing my sleeve at NE Baptist on July 9th. Day 6 pre op right now.

      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.
