Recommended Posts

Looking to see if anyone else will be getting their surgery the same day as me? I just verified with dr. kelly's assistant for that day.......yay can't wait!!!!!! Also has anyone started dieting yet? I have started to force myself to drink alot more Water, and i'm trying to find out what everyone used at first for protein.. i don' t want to be losing my hair or tired all the time. What Vitamins are you on? Anyone try those Protein Shots that have 50g of Protein in them? Any info would be great!

I'm not going for a month after you, but I'm seeing Dr Kelly, and I have been dieting for over a week and have lost 4 pounds so far! Hoping to be down 20 pounds by surgery! I downloaded "my fitness pal" onto my phone, and it created a calorie amount to follow daily (also Protein, fats, carbs etc). I have not tried the Protein Shots you are talking about, but I've read that your body can't process more than about 25g at a time, so maybe just use half at a time. Wishing you an ready surgery and recovery :)

Congratulations kansasgirl! I am also dieting and also have my fitness pal (ladies please ad me if you would like LBeautyy notice 2ys). my dieting is not going to be too extensive, just watching what I eat and stoping when I am full, that has proven to be a real challange for me! My birthday is in april, exactly two weeks before my surgery, so that night I am planning on eating a lot of my favorite food (so much that I will probably get sick), I know this is unhealthy and should not be done, but I am doing it with enough time to allow my body to get back to normal before surgery. I am only supposed to do a 3 day liquid diet for my surgery but I am planning in doing two weeks because I believe it can help and it will definetly not hurt.

Where can I find info on dr Kelly because I need in house financing and he does it? Can u send me a link to him or his coordinators email address please? I am interested in having surgery June 4. I just recently was told that dr Garcia no longer does in house financing and I need this surgery badly.

The only doctors I know of that do in-house financing is Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez and Dr. Garcia. Dr. Kelly does not do in house financing. My mom is finally ready to have her surgery. She did in house financing with Dr. Garcia. They are changing companies that provide the servicing and they said there is a delay in the paperwork but he still offers it. Just call back and ask for Julie. She is the person that does the finance work or is in that department.

Good luck on your surgery! Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

      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.
