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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
