Ky.hen, my thoughts and prayers are with you today.

Stoon, how are you doing?

How is everybody doing that has been sleeved this week? Haven't heard anything (might have missed it though as can't check the board much during the week). Just know that I have been thinking of you all. Congratulations to all of you on the next phase of your weight loss journey/new life.

Tiffykins, glad you are now with your sweetie. Treasure each moment. Have a great time making memories.

Cajun/Attitude free, sounds like you are both doing fantastic! I am so excited for you.

Not sure if Judy was having surgery today

or if she arrived in Mexicali today. Which

ever it is, she is in great hands.

I look forward to hear how you're feeling

Ky. Hen, Judy!

Judy asked that I post that she is up and walking. Also aware that tomorrow will be tough. She's a trooper and it was great having her come in to overlap our stay. She is the absolute sweetest thing. She wants to thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I'm heading back to Vegas tomorrow and should have some pictues posted soon of many of Dr Aceves "works of art" this week.

Judy,

We need an update. Hope everything is "passing on through" and you are home or getting there soon. Let us know how you are and please speak to the safety in Mexico and the ride from the airport. My friend who is accompanying me is getting a lot of nervous inquiries from her family about our safety. I need something to calm their fears.

Norma - are you flying in to San Diego? If so, tell your friend's family that you are never alone. Ernesto picks you up at the airport, takes you to the hospital for your pre-tests; takes you to the resort which you never have to leave as they have restaurants on site, picks you up in the morning, takes you to the hospital where you stay for the next 3 nights/4 days and then takes you back to the San Diego airport on the date you are released. It couldn't be safer.

Mexicali is not a dangerous city anyway -- when Bearded has his surgery, I drove around trying to find the mall - never found it, but did find a super Walmart so wandered around in there for about an hour, then drove back to the hospital -- I never felt threatened or at danger. You can walk all around outside the hospital and no one bothers you - that's if you even see anyone!

The ladies who work in the hospital cafeteria are very nice, as is everyone I encountered at the hospital.

Your friend's family need not wory about you and your friend's safety.

      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.
