Leaving On A Jet Plane.....



Recommended Posts

Getting ready to to to the airport! I can't believe I'm on my way! Just 2 days to my surgery....I'm nervous and super excited!

Hubby's going to cry when he drops me at the airport (I just know it!). He's so sweet!

I'll check in again from San Diego.< /p>

Wish me luck!

Good luck I'll be right behind you. And tell your hubby to suck it up and be a man. Lol : )

So he didn't cry....but he has sent me 6 text messages in the last hour! LOL

There's nothing wrong with a man who cries....I'd rather have a man who shows and shares his feelings than a stoic who never shows his humanity!

I'm in the Maple Leaf Lounge (first time!). It's pretty nice, but I'm missing the chance to eat all the yummy food (for free!). They even have free alcohol (at 9 am!).

Ah well, maybe next time.......(only little bites though...LOL).

More updates coming later.

Surgery day is finally here!

Waiting to get picked up at my hotel and taken across the border. Apparently there was a long delay and the driver (Dr. Kelly's wife Cece!) has to drop off NJSharon at the airport first.

Too bad, I thought I might get to meet her before she went back home! Apparently she had a perfect surgery and a flawless recovery. No gas, no pain. In fact, she's leaving me her Gas-X Strips. I looked in 6 different pharmacies here in San Diego, and no one had the strips, just tabs and gel pills. Thanks NJSharon! Hopefully I won't need then, just, like you, but knowing I have them is a huge relief.

I'll check-in again after surgery. :)

      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.
