Just wanted to update on everything going on.

I have my appointment in the am to get my passport same day, my flights are booked, I've sent the deposit check in, gotten the cashier's check, but it says official bank check on it.. I hope they take it.. I should call and ask Nina.

My neice will be here sunday night to go with me on Monday morning. We are going to stay the first night in San Diego and Ernesto is to pick us up there Tuesday morning.

I'm so excited!!! I can't wait to be on the other side.

I am going to try and figure out how to post a picture before leaving. I'll get my son to help me, but I can probably figure it out.

I've been doing the preop diet and so far so good. I've only slipped up once.. I needed caffeine today and took a sip of my Hubby's DrPepper. Just a tiny one, because I really don't like cokes.... but caffeine was getting to me.. the not having it.

Just wanted to 'share'. I can't hold my excitement in.

But I feel nervous and sad and excited all at the same time..

I hope that is normal.

I'll be seeing ya'll on the other side one week from today!! woo hoooo:smile1:

      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.
