Good luck Marie! Sounds like you're already doing great. I'm in Georgia too and my surgery date was Oct. 23. I've lost 25 pounds since my surgery. Feeling pretty good too. Doctor told me today that I could go back to my gym, so I'm looking forward to that!

Hello! In in Loganville, Ga. Yes I know Dr Titus Duncan. I was going to go with him a few years back - he is super experienced. I ended up using dr Johnson from Atlanta baractiric about 5 years after that.

I had the same problem and in the middle of 100 degrees heat UGH!! I found ice cold Water was the clue. I froze water bottles 2/3 way and then filled them up which kept them cold enough for my stomach. Slushie a with sugar free Syrup also worked great. Hope this works for you

      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?

      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.
