Hey everyone. I got sleeved this morning at about 10 AM Pacific time. I will detail my experience when I am a little less doped up. All the good things I heard are true. Ernesto, Yolanda, Sergio, Dr. campos, Dr Aceves, and all the nurses are wonderful. I have never been treated so well during a medical experience. Heck the last time I got this kind of service I was at Emeril's Restaurant. I am being a total tourist and taking pics of everything.

So far I have no complications. I am experiencing nausea any time I sit up straight and walk more than 5 steps. Dr Campos says this is normal for some people and I should be better by morning. Eith I am on super pain pills or I don't have gas. Lol! I have a small pain on my left side but that is it so far. I am so happy with my choice. I have my 2nd drain test tomorrow so I will post back then.

Yay Sexi Mexi!!!

      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.
