I remember that time too. The way I talked myself through it was to remind myself that I was doing that because I wanted my liver to be just right so that I didn't have any complications. I just kept thinking that I was avoiding complications and that helped. I promise the pre-op time will fly by. I am a little over 2 weeks out from surgery and I promise you.....it really DOES get better.

I had surgery with Dr. Nick on 2/22 of this year at Forest Park. I am coming up on my 6 month surgiversary soon. You will do great with Dr. Nick - I think he is the best there is.

To help with your hunger, drink at least 64 oz of Fluid a day - it really helps you feel full. Also, try to go ahead and get used to not drinking carbonated beverages, and I also decaffinated myself prior to surgery.

It is definately worth the work up front. I have not regretted my sleeve on minute.

I live in Dallas and I'm having surgery with Dr Nick on Sept 6th. It's sounds like we're experiencing the same apprehensiveness. I will be starting my pre-op next week. Dr Nicholson suggested I try the customized kits on bariatricadvantage.com to be sure there are no complications regarding the thickness of beverages and nutrition. I have a BMI of 34 and weigh 197lbs.

OMG, when I saw Dr. Nick I immediately thought of the crackpot doctor from the Simpsons! I'm SURE your Dr. Nick is a much better practitioner. :lol:

Well, at least he seems to be! ;) My doctor is Dr Nicholson at Baylor. He's the medical director of weightloss surgery at Baylor Plano and the new Forest Park Medical Center...a wonderful guy. Great reputation among other docs here in Dallas.

Congrats on the date!

I've been wondering if there are others here in Dallas. I've attended Dr. Nick's seminar last month and have a few pre-cert items, which will be accomplished next week. I hope to have a surgery date soon. Very excited.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
