Sept 26th, Dr Cabrera, Tijuana !!

I was September 6th and feel AMAZING!

@mrsnellie, congrats! This may be a strange question but exactly what are you experiencing that's amazing?? I see that a lot and have been curious about details. I am preop, surgery is 9/21, and would LOVE to know details on what is to come. I know everyone is different and nothing is guaranteed but curious anyway...

Me too ! Lets keep in touch through this Where are you having your surgery ?

I FEEL amazing!!!!!!!! I definitely do not feel like I had a major surgery just a week ago!!! The cravings are GONE! I haven't even considered a carbonated drink. I have been baking and cooking for my family and I don't want any of it. It's a very strange feeling!!!

The best advice I would give anyone would be..... DON'T PRESS THE PAIN PUMP if you came bare it.... The meds make you sick and not able to drink the required amount of liquid to go home. I didn't need the pain meds at home.

So... I have a hard time drinking an entire Protein shake. I usually drink 1/2 for a morning snack and the other 1/2 for a snack later. Do any of you do this? or can you drink a whole shake??? I just get so full!!

I can easily drink any Clear liquids. NO problem!

That's exactly what I can do!!!! Half for morning snack and Half for afternoon snack.....

I wonder if that is why my surgeon doesn't have his sleeve or band patients on a pain pump. He only does it for bypass patients. Before reading your post I really WANTED the pump. Now I know its best I don't. Thanks for the tip!

Don't over analyze either..... Your Doctor will know best

Sept24' date=' with Dr. Heider in Lake Norman, NC

It's just around the corner for you. I just completed my workshop with Denise & Amanda over the phone today (I'm in Raleigh). I'm scheduled for Oct 15 with Dr Heider & then 2 weeks recovery with family in Belmont. Just found out today I have to lose 5% of my weight during the 2 weeks of Optifast - makes me think maybe I should start early, just to be safe!!

Good Luck to you. I hope to stay in touch since there aren't a lot of Heider patients on this board.

Hi, was that yesterday about 11:00? I heard them on a call while I was there. They are all so nice in this office.

Yes! Call was from 10-12. How about that. Small world :-)

Were you there for your pre-op? What time is your surgery on Monday? I'll keep you & Dr. H in my prayers for a successful surgery & easy recovery.
