At The Airport Now....



Recommended Posts

Here I am at the airport now, this is really going to happen. Today will be a busy day, hopefully - makes the time go faster! I am looking around at all the extra baggage people carry and I wounder if that plays a toll on them like my "extra baggage". I feel so fortunate that I have a plan to better my life and I can't wait to tackle this head on.

Thank you for all your kind thoughts. I am here in Juarez Mexico. The trip from the airport to the hospital went great- no issues. The hospital is clean and the room is like a suite, really. I have a separate sitting area, the bathroom is huge and the closet space is good. I had blood work, EKG, and Psych review done - all good. My surgery will be Monday morning, so all I have to do is hang out tonight. I went by myself and I am glad I have my iPad. I only speak English so TV is lost on me!

      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.
