Here is my update to this point my my process.

We left the hotel with Dr a' driver at7:20 and came across the border without any problems. As we driving aroun I have to honest I was allittle worried based on the surrounding area but once we got here it wasn't so bad. We had visit with Dr A where he reviews your history then as they say "they" scoot you away. Now when I say scot I mean they move fast. We left the Docs area @8 and by 8:30 I'd already had my blood work X-ray photo taken and into the hospital gown.

The hospital is old and it shows but it's not bad at all. Just be prepared for a flashback in time so to speak. I was second on the schedule so I laid in bed until 11. The guy before me had large stomach so the removal took a little longer than usual since they wanted to pull it slowly not cause him more pain necessary. I dontt. Remember much once they gave me my happy juice but my wife says I kissed her and began crying like baby......again I have no recollection of said event.

I woke up in my room with very little pain and went right back to sleep. I've been up pee several times today and just finished two rounds down the hall. Dr A and his assistant have both stopped by today and are amazing. I can't have anything today except rinsing my mouth put. No swallowing anything. Tomorrow I start ice chips andping Water.

I'll send out another updat to,or row. I also apologize if this isn't the best write up but my eyes are a little fuzzy for some reason.

Take care everyone!!

      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.
