How about a part time Middle East worker. Oil field worker here, that spends half the year in the east and half back home in the US. Currently in Saudi trying to get to that oil, but have spent many months in Sharja, Dubai, & Abu Daubi.

Damamn and Kafjhi usually. Mainly I'm offshore, Damamn is where we fly into and Kafjhi is the port we leave out of.

Im moving to Saudi next year, I want to be as successful in this as possible....is there great doctors that I could go to for follow ups? I know it's a big country but I will be in Dhahran. Always worried if I'd have people out there who would relate to what I'd be going through. Surgery is scheduled for next month...moving in January.

      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.
