Great to hear that you are recovering good and there are no complications!! My endocrinologist recommended Dr. Marvin. Dr Marvin's office submitted my case to insurance, now I wait... I hate waiting!! I totally understand the need/want to see immediate results!! I'm the same way! I live on Barbers Hill Rd. I am 39!! Yes, we absolutely need to talk more :)

This is my first post ever. I just got the sleeve done by Dr. Hollis at Memorial Herman Southeast. I started this journey in January 2013 and started at 392. After my scope on March the 7th he put me on an all Optifast diet. This was 5 8 ounce drinks a day. I cheated a little but stuck to it pretty good. I weighed in at the surgery at 338. A total of 54 pounds. I can tell you that im not soar at all other than the stitches. I drove my car today which is the third day with no issues. I staying on the pain meds about every 6-8 hours so nothing jumps at me. My meals are Optifast in morning with two Multivitamin pills. For lunch i have one optifast and then a sugarfree popsicle. For dinner the same.

I look forward to talkling to the two of us and maybe we can create our own support group here locally. I will join the one at the hospital but would like to have one a little closer also. I currently live in Mont Belvieu.

      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.
