Hi, was wondering if anyone is from Houston currently starting preop diet?! My surgeon is Dr. Robert Davis and I start my preop on the 5th of July. [emoji4]

Garth Davis is my surgeon.. Coming up on month 5 of 6 for preop.. Hopefully I'll have my surgery late Aug or early sept

I've heard great things about Dr. Garth @tellej12 He has a vegetarian Facebook page and electronic presence with lots of positive information. It is good to see another with the Davis Clinic!

I am doing great! I haven't had any struggles. Fortunately, The Davis Clinic only requires 40 grams of protein per day. Dr. Primomo stresses fruit, veggies, and fish. My menus tonight is sea bass grilled on a cedar plank and fresh sautéed squash. LOL delish

I had my surgery 03/01/16 by dr. Primomo. Best doctor ever. Couldn't speak more highly of the team there. You're in good hands at that clinic

Thank you for sharing this. ???? I love the team there they are really nice and I don't have Dr. Primomo, but I have Dr. Robert and he is so nice. How has your post op been?

Houston checking in... my surgeon is Robert's son, Garth. Couldn't be happier with my choice in clinic/surgeon. Best decision I ever made to have the surgery. You are in good hands!

It is a wonderful blessing to hear praises about the Davis Clinic.

Let me know if you ladies have any specific questions. I don't know how the other docs are, but Garth is very big on recommending a vegan diet. It can be a bit difficult at times since probably 99% of the WLS docs out there push a high protein (from meat/dairy) diet. there is a good WLS vegetarian group on Facebook that I'd recommend jointing if you are going that route... you can ask anything on there and get good feedback quickly.

Glad you mentioned that. I've had people flip out when I say I'm only requires 40 grams of protein per day. They promote veggies first and then fish.

Thank you @@goblue9280

It is good to have another friendly face here. I have already joined Dr. Garth's FB page. About a year ago, I realized that I really could live as a vegetarian. It was a surprising revelation. As surgery gets closer and the importance of nutritional diversity more apparent, I would like to try it again. As I have Primomo, the FB resource and my nutritionist will be important to stay the path. Feeling blessed to be surrounded by y'all and such a kind group of people.
