I'm sorry to hear that. Prayers for her and her family and I hope she can continue her journey when everything gets better.

Her grandma passed away very recently so she is rescheduling - hoping to be sometime in September.

Hi Brandnew2011,

I just pin pointed my next available time off and sent my request to rescheduling for September 14th. So, if all goes well, i'll still be having surgury with Dr. Garcia, and I can still give you the run down on my experience. I've emailed him a couple of times with a list of questions which he (or his medical staff) thoroughly answered. I feel much less anxious that there weren't a bunch of posts about him on the forums. I'll keep you updated on my date!

Thanks for your condolences. It is greatly appreciated :)

      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.
