I went through Baylor-Dallas bariactric center. My doctor was David Arnold. My surgery went really well. You definitely will feel bad when you wake up from the surgery but as your body adjust it will get better. The surgery made my blood pressure and sugar levels sky rocket and I've never have high blood pressure or diabetes but everything kinda leveled out the next day. I have my 1 week post op appt w/ the doctor today actually and I'm down 16lbs from sugary and 34lbs from prep op diet. So you will be fine don't worry.

I live in Arlington, and work in Irving. I'm hoping for a mid-August surgery date, we're closing in now on all of the insurance requirements.

      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.
