I am in pre op having surgery in 9 days and I'm terrified/excited and would really love someone to talk to and help me with this journey! Any one in the DFW area?

I'm just outside of Fort Worth, had surgery 7/6 and am new to the group. Would love to have someone to talk to as well if you are able.

I am absolutely available! Would love to have someone to talk to as well! I am right next to lewisville and grapevine. Just moved to Texas a year ago so I don't know much about location. How are you feeling so far?

Hey there!! I'm doing ok, it's definitely a struggle to get all the Protein and hydration I need and I've been super weary of trying to introduce soft solids for fear of dumping syndrome. I'm about 45 minutes SW of FW but I used to live in Grapevine a few years ago so I've got a good idea of where you're at. How are you doing?

Hello! I’m doing ok, it’s up and down but I’m feeling better as I lose pounds. It never seems fast enough but I keep that in perspective! How are you doing?

For sure! I completely get, it always feels like the weight is coming off so slowly. I’m doing really well, feeling a lot better and I’m going on 9 months post op. I’ve lost a little over 100 pounds and have been really working out a lot and trying to stay active while eating right.

hi!! i am doing really well. My biggest struggle is getting enough Protein and Water everyday. I'm also having a really hard time remembering to take my Vitamins everyday. Do you guys ever stand up too quickly and black out? That's been happening to me lately! I am 10 days shy of 4 months out from surgery and have lost a total of 105 lbs. (I lost 40 lbs in preparation for surgery). I am hoping to lose 30-40 more lbs. I am hoping I can do it but a little in disbelief that it could be possible. Then again if you had asked me 4 months ago if I thought I would be down 100 lbs I would of said heck no!

      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.
