I had my surgery Tuesday, October 14th. Do not worry about cheating on your preop diet! I did too???? I was having so many food funerals prior to my preop diet so they continued a few times during my preop diet...oops!!! Oh well. I was so discouraged because I felt like I was going to mess up after the surgery but thankfully it has been pretty easy. One night last week I had a melt down because I cooked my family spaghetti and wanted to eat some so bad???? Thankfully that has been my only meltdown. The rest of the days have gone very well even cooking for my family???? The results are worth it!!!

There are a bunch of meetings in Dallas/Ft Worth area. There is one at Baylor Plano (where I had my surgery), but also others all over the metro area.

There is a list of all the local meetings floating around and there is literally one or more almost every day of the month!

I am thinking of attending the one at Doctors Hospital this Saturday. If anyone is going, PM me.

The Baylor Plano one is supposed to be good and they have a clothing swap beforehand. It's the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30pm.

Thus far I haven't made it to any meeting but I want to.

I'll try to find the meeting list. If I can't find it you can ask at the office they have it there too. Wait I think I got it attached to this message.

Where did everyone have their procedures done?

Just stick to it from here on out!!! I had surgery this past Tuesday and I am amazed at how well I am feeling. Get gas x cause you may need it. That is where I had he worst pain. I have not been nauseous or thrown up at all. Of course I am sore and left side of my tummy is more sore but I expected and prepared to feel worse. My surgeon was Dr Nick. He is so nice and encouraging. Good luck!!!

      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.
