Good luck! Make sure the control for the bed adjustment is within reach before you go into surgery--It was painful for me to grope around trying to find it post-op.

Keep us posted!

Well, I'm at the hotel. Pre-op tests are done, now I'm ready for lunch. The trip down was quick and uneventful, got here in 4 hours from LA. People at the hospital are very friendly and it's very clean. I am feeling very comfortable with my decision and can't wait for tomorrow!!!

And, I'm loving the iPad I bought with some of the money I saved by having the surgery in Mexico :)

Good luck! I was just at Mexicali last week to get my sleeve! Dr. Aceves and his staff are wonderful- you won't regret it :)

My aunt and I had my "last meal" at the Colorado restaurant at that hotel. It was pretty good. There are some nice stores within walking distance too, if you're up to exploring.

      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.
