Stalked Your Posts/Researched to No End! I'M DOING IT...3/29



Recommended Posts

I am new as a member to this forum, but I have been reading your posts anonymously for months. I am so grateful for this site. I was out of options and then I found this. I was so confident in my research and the stories here that I booked with Dr. Garcia and will have the sleeve done on 3/29. Just want to say that I am happy I found this site and will share my story for it to benefit someone as your stories have helped me tremendously. :)

Cool, I've always wanted my own stalker! I'm tired of sharing the one I have with my brother. :P

The best advice my parents ever gave me: Never talk to strangers, unless they offer you candy AND a ride.

Welcome stalker! :) Most of the people here are friendly, helpful and more than willing to offer up advice, give input and answer your questions. Good luck with your upcoming surgery!

The idea of stalkers used to bother me until I realized that I am scarier than anyone who could be peering into my window. :ph34r: B)

Welcome!!!!! Hoping and praying that all goes well with you! :)

I stalked for several months before jumping in, also. I actually booked my surgery (Mexico, also, with a different dr) before I finally "came out." Lol

I am 8 weeks post op and have absolutely no regrets.

Good luck on your journey. :)

      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.
