SEPTEMBER 10TH!!! Dr. Alvarez, Piedras Negras---Del Rio, Texas

I have not told many people, esp not family......don't want to hear it. Could never tell my mother, she is 84, and she would never understand why I would/could do it. She would be too worried. Anyway, I hear only good things about my surgeon. He is very prudent and my diet will be going really slow after surgery. He puts out these great U Tubes about the surgery and any question you can think of. I just pray that I am not going to be one of the 1% that has a problem. I have to get back to work in 2 weeks after.

Great to see we have quite a group....good luck to everybody!

      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.
