I'm scheduled for Aug 6th in TJ with Dr. Lopez at Mi Doctor. Staying at the Marriott.

Hope to meet some of you there!

What are you guys doing for your pre-diets? I'm on my 3rd day of suffering with 3 Protein shakes + 1 small dinner of lean Protein and salad. Horrible head aches. shakes make me want to vomit. Starting to feel some lack of energy.

Hi sugarpop - we'll see you at the Marriott. I'm being sleeved on the 7th by Dr A Ortiz - we will arrive at the Marriott on the 6th but probably miss you...but we will look out for you on the other side. The pre-op diet is v hard and I hear you re the headaches. My nut said that's could snack n veggies (limited) when I get really hungry so that has helped the monotony...all in a good cause, right?! :-)

Good luck with the surgery and let us know how you get on.

I'm an August sleever too!!!! Feeling a little left out though...I'm going to Dr. Rodriguez at INT Hospital on 8/21....flying home on the 23rd. Starting my pre-op diet on Monday just to try and shrink my liver even more. I was only asked to do a 10 day pre-op. Why don't I see Dr. Rod on here more?

Looks like I'm an August sleever as well, I was approved for surgery with Dr. Illan today. I think I'll be booked for August 9th, so I'll be nice and sleeved up in time for my birthday on the 19th! I hope you all have great experiences. :)

Are you going alone or do you have a companion? Is your date set for sure, have your airfare?

      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.
