I've been traveling and super busy so I haven't been on the forum much. Funny thing is that I actually lost a little weight while on vacation!

I will message my email address rather than post it on the forums.

Looking forward to getting together!

Hi JLOR,

I am also in McKinney. Maybe we are neighbors!

I used Dr. Cribbins in Plano. He doesn't advertise, to my knowledge, but I have been extremely happy. I was sleeved in December.

I think his office is very well run, and I have had no issues at all. Considering that he does not advertise, I wouldn't have known of him if not for the referral from our family doctor of many years.

Are you seeing Dr. Garza as well for supervised weight loss? She and her office staff are wonderful, IMO.

Presby Plano was a great experience - I had my breast reduction there (outpatient) a few years ago and then in December my VSG with Dr. Cribbins. They were so nice to my husband, making sure he had a place to sleep with clean sheets, pillows, and he was well fed.

If I can help in any way, please just say the word!

Thanks for the referrals! I am going to see two doctors today, and I will add Dr Cribbins in as well. So...when are we all meeting for brunch/lunch/dinner? If your in McKinney and live close to me, I would love a workout buddy! I exercise early in the morning before work if anyone is interested. So far I'm just walking with a little bit of jogging thrown in. But I'm at 5 days a week for an hour.

      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.
