I am In Australia, and am on 11th September.

We only need to do the liquid diet 2 week before the op?

Would love to meet some new buddies for support.

Where should we all hook up and talk about how we are doing after surgery? This site? I am Sept 10th with Dr Alvarez in Mex. Anyone else on Sept 10th with him? I know he only does a couple of them a day, anyone on the 9th or 11th with him? I am so looking forward to this......my "fear", nausea, vomiting and a leak. I only hear good things about my surgeon and with great outcomes. I am praying!

My benefit? Let me count the ways....for one, to get back out in the world and feel good about myself, instead of going to work and back home. To wear the clothes hanging in my closet. To socialize, to travel with smaller clothes that i can mix and match easily. To go visit family and feel proud instead of not going because "I don't have anything to wear". To look forward to going places instead of dreading it. To being more active, get into a excercise routine. To getting out of bed on my days off, to being more healthy and being present in my life and live it!

I could go on and on about the benefit. I think about that more than looking at "what food I don't get to eat and the quantity that i eat" anymore. I hate it every time I drive thru to get Cookies to eat at work and hide them so others don't see me eating them. The shame of getting bigger and bigger. My scrubs getting tighter and tighter. My bras getting tighter and digging into my back. The good certainly out weigh the "bad". I am ready to get out of bed and come out of the closet.....or back into my closet and be able to wear what is in there! I want to be honest some day about the secret hell I have put myself through, hope to help others come to terms with their "hell"

And praying that we all will have great outcomes, no leaks, minimal nausea, pain and minimal tears.

Hi SLF1027,

I'm in Houston too, surgery scheduled for September 4th at Methodist Willowbrook with Dexter Turnquest. Do you mind sharing your surgeon's name?

      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.
