I went to dr aceves and my skin tends to keloid anyways and he did a absolute amazing job not even one scar shows he's a great surgeon. I was really worried about that too..

I had originally planned Dec 4th but I'm still awaiting my passport. So I have decided to wait till after Christmas. I've afraid I'll be sore and sick in Christmas. I don't wanna spoil my sons Christmas by not feeling good.

Hey Savanna, that's cool. Maybe we'll see each other at the Marriot? I'm coming in on Sunday the 17th. I'm from Southeastern Oklahoma - Mcalester. What about you?

I'm from all over the state, I guess. I grew up in the northeast corner (around Grand Lake) and now I'm in college at NSU in Tahlequah. My family has a little place on the lake in Eufaula and I work at a summer camp in Davis in the summers.... But I'm mostly based in Tahlequah right now. I bet we WILL see each other. I fly in on the 14th and I'll be there until the 19th.

You really have been all over the state :) I lived in Stillwater for five years and Bartlesville for two years, but I ended up back here around Mcalester where I grew up. It's nice to meet you, and good luck to you on your 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.
