I'm in Corpus Christi and I am using Dr. Craig Chang. What a honey!!! He's with the Citizens group out of Victoria and comes highly recommended. So does his associate Dr. McDaniels. I will have my surgery in Victoria, but they have an office in Corpus for office visits, follow ups and fills. They also have group meetings and seminars here.That was convenient for me. I don't mind the 2 hour drive for surgery, as long as there is a satellite office here. My best friend switched from Dr. Speigal in Houston to Dr. Chang. Speigal botched her band. She recently had emergency surgery as a result, but Chang saved her band! It's made a WORLD of difference for her.

      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.
