I agree. I am SOOOOO Ready!!!! I am scheduled for mine tomorrow morn. I could hardly sleep last night - not because I was nervous - but because I am SOOOOOO Ready. I know there's a skinny girl inside and I am hoping Dr. Barker helps me find her:) Good luck! I'll catch you on 'the other side'...

RedShoes...I'm thinking of you this morning. Saying a prayer that you are one that bounces quick! See YOU on 'the other side'...can't wait to touch base soon!

Hola from Tijuana! I had surgery Thursday (7th...Dr. Kelly) and arrivedat the lovely Hotel Lucerna to convalesce. I feel fantastic and just returned from a1/4 mile walk. I survived the nasty "swallow "test this morning and let me tell you prospective Kelly patients ....there is no offer of ice chips or tongue blotting at Angeles Hospital. There was just a terse "drink!" I'll give details later, right now I'm hunt and pecking on my Nook.

I just wanted to stop by and check in. More later!

      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.
