Today I started my pre-op diet for surgery with Dr Aceves next Friday. I worked last night, and I'm not much of a cook, but I decided to make some bacon and eggs for Breakfast. It smelled sooooooo good, my 24 year old son woke up and had breakfast with me at 6AM!!! Hmmmmm....unexpected benefit?!:biggrin0:

Well wasn't that a pleasant surprise ... I don't know if even the smell of eggs and bacon would have been enough to get either of my boys out of bed!

Good luck on your diet. I started mine today too. Are you going by yourself? Judy

That is great! My son will usually get up early, but nothing gets my daughter up before noon on weekends. I swear, she sleeps half her life away.

Ernesto is a pretty cool guy, but his driving scared the bejeebers out of me!! Concentrate on the beautiful scenery along the way, lol.

Yes, I am going alone. My son is taking me to where I will be picked up by Ernesto, at the long term parking lot just this side of the border. You?

It's not too bad if you're being picked up in Calexico -- the hospital is very near the border so you're really not in the van very long -- and the trip from the hospital to the resort is only 2 miles. Now, can't speak of the trip from San Diego, as we were picked up at the AA Parking lot in Caleixco. Parking was only $3/day and it is gated with a guard 24/7 which was a comfort.

      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.
