I had my surgery there of June 28th, and not to scare you, but if you can go ANYWHERE else...do it! The place was disgusting!! They had a cricket outbreak, continued to send me solid foods even though I was on a bariatric floor, and drew post-op blood from

My IV arm, which screwed up all the levels costing me an extra day in the hospital for no reason. Then they forgot me at discharge so I had the "pleasure" of staying 10 extra hours...trust me, don't do it! If you need a Blue Distinction place (BCBS), go to Presby. Plano! Good Luck!!!!

Well. I'm hoping since we didn't hear from you, that means you had surgery.

      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.
