Has anyone had or is anyone going to have gastric sleeve surgery done in the bay area? If so, who is/was you surgeon and at what hospital?

My surgery is in San Jose with Dr. RICHARD NGUYEN and the hospital is Good Samaritan Hospital

I'm having surgery with Dr. Nguyen too. When are you having surgery ?

My surgery is Nov 19th. When is your surgery?

I just started my 2 week liquid diet today!

Im having surgery in December. How is the liquid diet going??

I am on day 2. I felt hungry all day yesterday even though I had a shake for breakfast broth for lunch and dinner and a shake before bed trying to curb the hunger. I know this might sound crazy but maybe I feel so hungry because I didn't chew anything so today I am going to buy a large cup of crushed ice to chew on see if it makes a difference and tricks my brain. I am also going to take pictures of myself today and I hope if I feel the urge to cheat looking at these pictures will keep me honest.

Did u buy the liquid dietthrough the office or are u doing it on ur own

I have celiac disease which means I am allergic to wheat malt barley and rye. Anyways most broths, soups, protein shakes, powders and even sugar free Popsicles have wheat and malt so I am having to do it on my own.

I have been at an infusion center getting iron infusions for the last 2 hours and I am starving so hard to not cheat ughhhh
