So glad to hear that you are doing so well! My turn tomorrow and I am a bit nervous. I have made it to the hotel, tomorrow morning it is across the border and into the OR. Still cannot believe it!

It will be all worth it! Hang in there and prayers for a smooth surgery & fast recovery!

Stormwarning,

Egg drop Soup is like a chicken broth base and they whip egg, like you would to scramble them, then once the broth boils they whisk in the egg. If you like poached eggs you would like it, if not the you probably wouldn't. Theirs here had 3 or 4 carrots chunks and 4 peas in it. It was good. There are also other Soups, one was chicken and something and she said it was a broth based soup. They also had wonton soup and you can just take the wontons out and it is usually like a veggie broth. They are $3.99 or $4.99 per large bowl. There is also a microwave in the room if you want to bring soup and heat it in the room. There is a mini fridge but ours is barely cool. The room is huge with 2 queen beds and tons of room, not crowded at all. I wish I had brought some of the Lipton creamy soup packets and a mug to make soup here. Since you are driving, you could bring more stuff. Also, there is a Mexican restaurant that is recommended in our paperwork, but the girl at the desk said it was quite a long walk and it was at the hottest part of the day. Plus it is on a busy four lane road and there is no sidewalk. We did not want to get run over going to dinner! We just walked the quarter mile or so to the Chinese place.

Think happy thoughts for me tomorrow! I am no longer counting days but hours....crazy!!!

      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.
