Hey Everyone,

Im here in TJ at the hotel Lucerna. Dr. Ortiz is awesome. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning. I'm on my way to have my "light dinner." Will try to post tomorrow and let the future bandsters know what to expect. I feel certain all will go well. I feel like I'm in very capable hands with Dr. Ortiz's staff. Talk to everyone soon.

Lynn

PS. Dr. Ortiz's facility is fantastic! Hotel Lucerna .... uh, leaves a little to be desired, but it's okay.:clap2:

Thanks for the support everyone. I'm doing pretty well. Have had bouts will nausea and dizziness. But they gave me dramamine and all is well. I just got back to the hotel and thought I would sit down and answer e-mails first. drinks go down very smoothly. Had a few popsicles last night. They were very refreshing. DH has been awesome. I could not have done it without him. God Bless you all. Thanks for your love and prayers.

PS. I met a lady in the lobby this morning who had hers done last year and has lot 100lbs. She looks great. She also had an arm lift on Monday. I'm so happy for her.

Lynn,

It was great to meet you. You are beautiful!! And I'm glad you made it through okay! I was dizzy and nauseated, too. You will feel better tomorrow. My DH and I walked around costco yesterday. You can take a cab there. Anyway, that is why I left you such a huge bottle of apple juice...it's from Costco. Hey girl, we did it!!

      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.
