Johanna, that is so awesome to hear. I have just over three weeks and I'm starting to get nervous. Did you stay in the recovery house? I've heard that everyone is awesome it's just crowded at times.

I actually stayed at the hotel because my husband went with me. The ladies that had surgery the same day As me stayed at the recovery house and we all went together for the leak test and they told me that they loved the house. I will be going next year for plastics after I get to my goal and I will be staying at the house. Dr Almanza is a hottie, he took his shirt off for us to see his incisions for when he had the sleeve and let me tell you we all went like WOW!!!

LOL that is hilarious. I am having an extra procedure done so they are wanting me to stay at the house the whole time since there is a nurse there 24/7. I told them that my mother would be with me and Melissa said that was fine they would have a bed for her too. So I thought that was cool. I'm so ready to go!!!! 23 days and counting.

I am having surgery the same day they pick me up from the airport. I am on a 3 day liquid diet so the last meal will be 3 days before I have surgery. I dont think you can have anything the day of 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.
