It has been rough. I could not get my fluids in. Swollen esophagus. I had to go to Hospital for fluids. Still dehydrated so they put picc line in on Thursday. Now giving myself fluids. Had a better day yesterday. Was able to get about 32 oz of fluids down and some Protein. Not trying to scare you. Dr Pitt and his staff have been wonderful.

I had a sleeve on 10/11 with Dr. Curry at the Journey Lite office. So far so good. With my pre-op diet I am down 33.2 lbs in about one month. I followed everything they said to do. I still have a hard time getting the fluids in. I average 32-40 oz a day. You have to sip constantly. Good luck. If you have not seen the website: the world according to egg face I highly recommend it. It has helped me a lot.

My Surgery was Fantastic!!! I will be three months on 2/20 and I am down 57.4 pounds. I love Dr. Curry and all the staff, I had no complications and I made sure I followed all the guidelines to the T. I feel AWESOME!! If you have specific questions once you get started, please don't hesitate to shoot me a message.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
