On the way to Mexicali



Recommended Posts

Well here we go, I'm waiting at the Dallas Airport for my flight to San Diego and then the ride to Mexicali.

Surgery is tomorrow morning with Dr. Aceves.

I would like to thank everyone on this forum for your stories. They have helped me get to this point and

I know they will help me in the weeks and months to come.

Please say a prayer for me, surgery is surgery.

Thanks,

Garyb, congratulations. You will be so impressed with Dr. Aceves. My whole experience there last week was good. Of course, surgery is surgery as you said, and it takes some time to heal. I'm feeling better and better as each day goes by. Good Luck and keep us posted on your journey.

      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.
