Welcome, Texas....I'm amazed when folks can get scheduled and have a surgery date in such a short time.

I've been reading through posts from post-op sleevers, and the cool thing is that with his surgery EVERYBODY loses lots of weight. With regular diets most people don't last a month.

Welcome to March Sleevers!

Hi y'all! I'm right outside of Houston in Deer Park. My surgery is March 7th, the day after my 35th birthday. I refuse to be 36 at this weight and with all the health issues I'm on the verge of getting now. I am having my surgery at Memorial Hermann Memorial City by Dr. Erik Wilson. He's awesome, definitely recommend using him if you're around this area. Good luck to everyone, nice to see all us Texans on here. Makes me feel like I have a ton of support right in my backyard!

Deer Park is my old stomping grounds. I went to high school at Rayburn, but had many friends in Deer Park, and got many traffic tickets going up and down Center Street. Now I live up on the other side of Dayton but still work in Pasadena so I'm all around that area all the time.

Very cool. I've had my share of stinking tickets here too! Usually down San Augustine though! Nice to have someone close who's been through this!

Hi there I'm new on this site but so glad I found it. I am a Texan as well and live 20 miles east of Dallas across the lake in Rockwall. Iam 17 months out started my journey at 313.5 and got down to 216 almost a 100 pound loss. While I have been happy with my sleeve. I am starting to feel like my old fat self again. I'm at a stall which I am sure is based on my lack of excercise, and watching my calories like I use too. I am up to 219 and scared to death I'm headed the wrong way. Just wonder if there is anyone out there that like me is starting to feel out of control again? Hates hates hates to count calories and diet, and who does not get a lot of excercise. Are you loosing or stopped? Would love some feedback-- ????

      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.
