I have recently moved to Abilene and I am looking for a surgeon. I can't seem to find any closer than DFW area. I really want to get moving on this and get the surgery done. Any ideas on finding a surgeon?

My surgeon is in Wichita Falls. I don't think there is one in Abilene anymore. My surgeon is Dr Kenneth Warnock!

I live near Abilene. If anyone has surgery scheduled and needs Protein powders let me know. I bought waaaaaay too much and am willing to give it away. It's all unopened, FYI.

Sassy Little Redhead if you still have the Protein I would love to take it off your hands. I am having surgery with Dr. Stowers also. My date is 4/7 and I can't wait.

Did a support group ever get formed for the Abilene area? I am about an hour away but I go there all the time. I would love to participate?

      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.
