Okay, today I fly away to San Diego and then on the Mexicali. This is something I never thought I'd do but once I made my decision I've never looked back. As I hugged my bf goodbye today I knew that there are parts of me that will never be the same (well obviously not my tummy) I am so excited and grateful to those of you in this forum for all of your insight, for sharing your stories good and bad. I layed in bed last night and thought of the things I would do differently with a healthier body and the list just doesn't stop. I have had a full life already but what a great enhancement this will be!

Take care everyone!

Anna,

I know you will have a great trip. Tell Dr. Aceves and Campos I said

hello. Tonight you will eat the last big meal that you will be able to

so enjoy it. They have some great food there.

I know you are excited and nervous but it will all be on the downside

soon. You will be more excited when you see the weight start to fall off.

Good luck and we will see you on the losers bench.

Gary

      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.
