I don't know anything about 'Lite 'n Free'. Where in MX is your surgery going to be? Mine was in Tijuana with Dr. Kuri. He is a very respected Band Surgeon. Do you know who your surgeon is?

Everyone on this board will do everything we can to help you - we just need some more information from you.

Whatever you decide to do, make certain that you have follow-up care lined up here in the States. That's critical. Just ask DeLarla (Lisa) - she'll tell you all about the trials and tribulations of trying to go it alone when you get back home.

Good Luck to you.

Not familiar either, but who is your surgeon and your coordinator...maybe we know the doctor from previous affiliations?

Hi, Welcome to the board. There's are some who have gone to Dr.De La Garza, Is that who your talking about? I'm sure they'll pop up soon with some info.

I'm going to be setting up an appt. with him. Hopfully for the end of April.

Try doing a search of his name, too.

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.
