Question: how much should I tip Ernesto and the nurses? Thanks!

I had 2 different drivers (Ernesto and another weekend driver -one each way). I believe that I gave them $10 each. The nurses I did not tip (just going on that I am an RN and have never been allowed to accept tips).

Good luck tomorrow!!

Thanks everyone! Well, I ate after the hospital and will snack again before 10pm and lights out". I am not really nervous and I think one reason is cause Mom is here. The wind is blowing like crazy!!! It is a beating just to step outside the room but the pool is beautiful!

I will show Mom how to post on here so that she can keep everyone informed...

Thank you to everyone for the last month or so of encouragement and information, even if it was a post to me personally, just everyone taking the time to post and answer questions has been a true blessing!

I can hardly contain myself, lol. You are the first person to have the surgery since I joined the forum. So, it's really exciting that you are keeping in touch. I can't wait to hear from you after. I hope you sleep well tonight and dream about the new you. :ack2:

Anna, don't worry about it! I would not have known either but thought I read somewhere that somebody had done that.

We are getting ready to leave, Ernesto will be here in about 30 minutes!

      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.
