Hi,

Wish we lived closer. We have a few things in common: VSG, animals and travel! I'm outside of Memphis, but travel through Atlanta all the time...Guess if you wanted to walk the Delta airport concourse with me..Second thought, Im usually running those, LOL!

My surgery is june 15th in Cancun. My family is going with me, and will be a mini vacation for them. Not so much for me, but happy that they are coming.

I would love to know about the single spider thingy. Is it suppose to be easier than the regular Vsg?

Oh, and you should know I do get stuck a couple of times of year in Atlanta. I've found a cheap place about ten minutes from the airport. It's next to a waffle house. Don't think it's in a safe area, but I just stick a chair under the door knob. Hehehe!

My husband and I also sponser a child from the Palmer Children's Home in Hernando, Mississippi. It's a great organization, and we're proud to be a part of it!

      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.
