I will, I promise. I'm was ok but they've just changed my hotel yesterday to the campanile in vilvoorde from the lodge hotel. The difference is huge. I was actually really looking forward up staying in the lodge hotel and it was helping me focus knowing I'd be staying somewhere nice but now staying an old beige looking thing.

I leave on the 8th and I'm going by Eurostar. My consultation is in the evening and I go into hospital at 7am the next day. I'll have the op, stay the night and will be discharged at 1pm the next day.

Not sure what u know already/don't want to know but I'll keep updated! :)

It'll be fine it's just a bit if a shock st the last minute when I was excited about going to the lodge and having somewhere nice for my husband to stay. I'm so glad he's coming with me! Are u going on your own? I'm in Birmingham. We would have flown but it was less than half price for us both to go by Eurostar but u never know u may get goodluck with your tickets.

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
