I am sure you're smarter than me to make sure you call them ahead of time to see if they are going to be there.I was not able to have my tests because I did not realize that the entire staff takes off one week every month. It was the only week I could get off work, but it did not work out with their schedule, so I was not able to go to Mexicali and have my tests.

WOW! One week every month! I wish I worked there!:001_smile:

Can we please get this thread STICKY'D?

The information gets asked for daily, and it would be easier to find if it were sticky'd.

Thanks.

Once a month, Dr. Aceves has Saturday follow-up appointments with transportation from the SD airport. The cost is $150 for the lab tests, nothing for Dr. Aceves or for the transportation. I've already scheduled for August.

Hi Vegas, Your information is so very helpful to all of us. I do have a question, are the fruit punch protien shots acceptable for the clear liquid stage of the post op diet? Just wondering????????????

Can you see your hand through it? If it were in a glass could you see your hand on the other side? That is a clear. It doesn't have to be clear as in plain Water, but it needs to be thin enough that you can see through it obstructed at least.

Just for general information....I'm on clears for 10 days because of all of the extra scar tissue from my band.

      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.
