Dr. Aceves week of Sept 28th!



Recommended Posts

Hello all, as most of us are aware Dr. Aceves will have his hands full of VST'ers next week. When I started this journey I was planning on traveling alone...now with my fellow VST'ers I don't feel as though I am going to be there alone at all. Would you please mind posting your arrival dates so that we know who we can find and when. I know there are numerous posts, but thought now that it is "crunch" time this might be easier to get a clear picture of who is where and when :thumbdown: so we can offer our support to one another. Also, if you don't mind loaning items to others, such as movies, please list those. I myself will be taking Pretty Woman, Shrek, Step Brothers and a few others yet to be determined.

Arrivng Monday 9/28

Departing Friday 10/2

I can't "weight" for this to all be over so I can start my NEW LIFE! :confused1:

Hey Gonna!

I'm arriving Monday the 28th also, but late (arr Canadian airlines), leaving Friday. I'll be the large short gal with longish brown hair and a very bemused expression. I will be bringing my laptop and probably some books. Anyone into online games?

Ivy what time are you arriving, are you going to be there by 1:00 for the drive with Ernesto to Mexicali? If so I will try to meet you over at your gate and then we can find Ernesto together at baggage. What online games do you play? Look forward to meeting you Monday.

I hope so! My flight arrives at 12:45. I'm arriving at..I don't know what gate. The airline is WestJet, flight WS 860 if that helps? My Dad might even be with me, last minute family turnaround, awesome! They aren't in favour of the surg but I want to get healthy BEFORE I get sick from being so heavy.

I'm really into world of warcraft. I may be a tad geeky. :thumbup:

We WILL NOT leave without you! That would be great if your Dad came with you, my parents weren't supportive either but understand now and actually are watching my son and then bringing him home from IL when I get home and had a few days to rest and recoup in my quiet house.

See you Monday, if I'm not at the gate I'm at baggage with the keys so Ernesto can't take off - LOL

I am very excited! I actually got my suitcase out to pack today - I think Ky.hen has been planning on her packing details for quite awhile. I am really looking forward to this, I haven't had anytime to be nervous but I'm sure once I am on the plane it will hit me. I feel like I'm going to camp - LOL

      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.
