Awesome to hear. I'm glad we are with him. I'm super confident with him as our surgeon. Dr T did my endoscopy and was very nice also. Then he relayed a message to Dr. Beekley telling him I had some questions and Dr B called me that night. So nice. I just finished all my tests. Start pre-op on Tuesday!! What tests do you have left? I'm glad I didn't go up to a girl at the meeting that I thought might be you lol. Are you having second thoughts? I'm so nervous!

Hey. Hope all is well. I am practically done. I have to reschedule my preop testing because I did not allot time. I did not realize it was going to take 2/3 hours.

I have been having horrible anxiety attacks not sure if it's because if all the testing and waiting or because I fell like I have no support. I am a total mess and I am so scared too. I am afraid of pain and not being able to function for a couple of weeks. Even though I am overweight I do things and look after my kids. I am so scared. Omg. When are you in?

      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.
