Hi TinaD,

Who is your surgeon? I hope to have my surgery at Baylor Trophy Club in November with Dr. Kim. My last NUT visit is next Thursday, 9/27 and then we submit to insurance.

Best of luck with your surgery and let us know how everything goes!!!

I'm in Weatherford Texas and I'm having my sleeve done Sep 24 at the Baylor Medicle Trophy Club. I'm getting pretty nervous any words of comfort or suggestions?

Jazzeeja, I will be praying for you as well. The support of others through prayer and meals for my family has been such a blessing. Don't turn down offers for help. It makes people feel good to help out. God's peace!

Thank you owlmom for your prayers and thoughtfullness. I will be carrying them in with me to surgery. I'm excited and a little apprehensive. I do have a wonderful surgeon and staff, and the hospital is new and high tech. So that should be comfortable, I've done everything for the past two weeks that was required, last two days of Clear Liquids was tough. Now I'm fasting til surgery with just a sip of Water to take meds in the morning. Lost 13 pounds. So hopefully all will go well. I will post as soon as I'm coherent tomorrow. Thank you again.

Hi Michelle! What is your schedule like? I live near Veteran's Park and ArkGirl is near River Legacy. I'm a stay at home mom, so I have some flexibility during the week. Meet to walk or something?

Awesome!!! I work M-F 7-4 and my kids extra curricular lives make me as a single mom a human taxi. I'm trying to figure it all out. This is my first week back at work and I haven't walked since Sunday. I'm tremendously disappointed in myself but I just have such low energy. Staying awake at my desk is a small miracle. I had my surgery on the tenth so I'm praying it will get better when I can manage to meet my Protein and Water goals.

      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.
