So Dr. A just left the room and had a long talk with all 3 of us on WLS and eating and habbits and such. He is a very warm hearted man and has a slight funnyness to him. I was very impressed. They took Gloria back and now me and another patient who are sleaving are waiting for our turn I do not know if it wil be me or her so we'll see.....

Thus far it is very nice here and the staff is helpful and attentive.

Enjoy your time there! Make the most of your time in the hospital relaxing and getting sleep. Once you are home, the work begins, but it is all good and all so worth it. Best of luck to you. Enjoy the ride!

Be sure to post on the thread I started trying to count Dr Aceves patients. I am trying to find out how many people from this board have gone to him and what their experience was.

So I still have a major gass bubble. If it wasnt for the gas bubble I wouldnt feel so bad......I kinda feel a little hungry too, It might be the gass though I dont know. I did get my IV out so I am on my own for liquids now. I am really afraid to drink too much as I do not want to experience any more horrible feelings or puke for that matter...:blush:

Everyone here is amazing and nice. It has been a good experience.

      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.
