oh Kansasgirl, I decided to do mine the same day I arrive to have an extraday at the hospital and hotel. I am staying two nights at the INT and two nights at the Lucerna.

I had to do my surgery on a friday so i could take the least amount of time off from work.. and then i have my son's graduation from high school coming on the 19th so i wanted to get it done sooner.. and i didn't know when i'd be getting my passports i sent them off on 3/16 and my hubby got his yesterday so mine should be coming soon too. I think i will tell trish to just schedule me for the 8:30 surgery at night then i will at least have more time to recover with more access to the doctor. It would be so much fun getting to meet you though lol but i understand :-)

      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.
