I am scheduled for mom sept 17 with dr. Barker in Dallas! I start the pre op diet on sept. 10th. I am so ready! I live about 300 miles from Dallas and think we will drive instead of fly so we can stop, take our time and I can walk? Any thoughts about that? Do you think I will hurt too bad to be in the car? Thanks!

I am scheduled for September 13.

I was originally scheduled for August 30, but the Psych wanted me to do a run of ADD medication because he thought I had ADD and that's why I was having a problem taking my meds...well, I just don't think about taking my meds usually...but I'm doing great now. The ADD medicine I took made me very angry so I only took it for 3 days. So, $133.00 later (meds and 2 dr co-pays to get meds and then follow-up), my date got pushed back 2 weeks - which is better than the 2 months the psych originally requested.

I'm Sept. 13th. as well.

      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.
