I too am having surgery with Dr. Alvarez on Aug 13. Now that I know for sure the surgery is on (except that I am still working to get my passport on time), I am coming to terms with some of the permanent changes I will be facing.

Tameka and Joyce, I am really excited too. I am trying to balance my excitement with the sobering reality of the behavioral changes I will be making. I realize that this is a tool to help me change and not a "quick fix" for a lifetime of poor eating habits. At the same time, I am a little giddy! :)

I really love all of the videos on Dr. A's YouTube channel. That was a huge point of comfort to me. Being educated about what I am considering is incredibly important to me. Now let's just hope I get my passport in time! :)

Time will go by quickly and we will begin a new way of living :) Much luck to you in the before surgery "mind prep" phase, that is where I am at now.

My passport arrived in about 3 weeks when I got mine. My friend got one not long ago and it came back in less time than that. You should be fine to get it in plenty of time.

      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.
