I'm with Dr Oldham at Baptist East. Did you struggle with the pre-op diet?

How are you doing? How much weight have you lost?

I did not have to do a preop I have lost 65 lbs since april 20 more to go. I have not had any complications have not gotten sick and did not have any pain. So far it has been a breeze I can eat anything I try to keep my carbs around 40 my calories around 800 and Protein 80grams I followed everything the dr. said. The only thing I need to work on is exercising. How much do you have to lose. Out will be worth it I promise

Thanks for the encouragement! I have about 125lbs to loose. My Lord it sounds like a lot. The pre-op diet is kicking my butt.

It's great that you have done so well. I hope I'm the same way.

Wow! Why did you go to Mexico? I've noticed several people having surgery there. How did things go? Any complications?

I went to mexico for the price of the surgery. I have a low bmi compared to most and insurance wouldn't touch me here in the states, and the cost in the states can be up to 3-4 times as much. It was a fun experience, we stayed in San Diego, had a good 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.
