Anyone seeing Dr Almanza September 18 through 23?? My surgery date is the 19 th!! I would like to be in touch with someone else going around the same time. I think the support will be not only good for me but for my mom who is coming with me. She has been so amazing and supportive even though I know she is scared!

Hello

I am from Ohio. What hotel did you pick in San Diego? I am booking my room this week. Seem like a waste to pay over 100 for just a couple of hours. Looking for to meeting you at the recovery house.

Yea I was thinking the same thing about the hotel. We are not sure yet where to stay but I'll probably be booking soon as well. Just got my passport app in today. So many things add up$$$!!! Who is coming with you? My mom is going with me. I wish we had the extra money to spend some time in Cali. But sadly we can't.

I am coming alone. I dont want to have to worry about anyone but me. I wish had a family member that would support me but none of them understand what I am doing. I was thinking about a cheaper house hotel than what Louise suggests so I would be able to stay a couple days in Cali. It took me 8 weeks to get my passcard, Will your passport be sent to you by the time you leave?

I have so much to do before my dated to leave and I am sure it will be here before I know iit. But today it seems like the time has come to a stop. I feel like a kid waiting on Christmas morning. Counting the days..... Is it time yet?

I'm sorry to hear you aren't getting the support you need with this. But I'm glad you wrote back. Because we can keep in touch and I'll be going in first so I can give you all the details!! I hope my passport comes in time!! But Louise said to bring my certified birth certificate and drivers license if not. People can get in with that for the most part.

I wOuld look in to the motel 8 and some of those to see if you can find a place! If I come across anything I'll let you know.

Do you have a Facebook? If so please ad me

Check out the September forum also. I will add you to the roster and it looks like there might be others there around that time.

What part of Ohio are you from? I live in Circleville, OH. I get my sleeve with Almanza on the 10th. Too bad we aren't going at the same time.

      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.
