How exciting for her - and you -- she will be happy to have you there ... all will be well. She'll be in great hands and at a great hospital. I will keep you in my prayers.

I think the reason Dr. Aceves is doing surgery on a Sunday is that he was attending a conference in Texas, so I am sure he has a backlog of surgeries that people want to get done.

We'll look for your posts -- tell "Jaffa's wife" to enjoy her last meal :lol0:

We just had a last meal!!!! The testing went fast, and we are getting ready for bed. Surgery tomorrow at 9.

The Italian Restaurant was a very good. I at too much but, she loved it....I have lefter overs for tomorrow.

We also met up with another sleeve patient that is getting sleeved. It is someone who has posted, but I won't say, because they may or may not want it posted. I will error on the cautions side on this one. She is a really nice person.

The both get sliced and diced tomorrow.

I know, not what people want to hear....LOL

The other person is here all by herself. She is a lot tougher then my wife. My wife wouljd have run like the wind. I'm going to spend tomorrow helping them both.

Well, actaully today since it is now morning.

Surprisingly the hospital was very busy yesterday. The waiting room was full when we first walked in. It took about 15 minutes to get urine, bloood, ekg, an chest exam. Then about an hour on paper work and talking to DR Aceves. I even learned a couple of things I had't ever hear.

Dr Aceves, has only two sleeves tomorrow, so it is any easy day for him. Both are fresh nich stomachs.

Jaffa Steve,

That is so nice of you to take care of both ladies. Tell ya what, when the rest of us that are waiting get our sleeve dates we will let you know. Then since you will be so experienced you can come and take care of us. Maybe your wife could rent you out on this board. LOL

No kidding, it is nice of you to care for them both. Keep on posting with the updates.

Judy

You are such a sweetheart! But I think that is because you are from Des Moines. ;o)

Seriously, you are a nice guy. The other lady having surgery is lucky to have you. It can be spooky having surgery alone, but with you and your wife there she isn't alone.

You are very cool, Jaffa!

      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.
