So glad to hear you both are doing well. I'm so excited, but can't believe it is really true and just a few days away. Btw, passport card came today, so I'm all set

We had the swallow test today, and everything went well. We moved into the hotel today. It is beautiful. Things are going well for Jennifer and me. There is a third lady with us who was a band to sleeve revision. She is fine too. Dr. Kelly had one sleeve surgery today, and we had a chance to visit and talk with her family and provide them support as well.

The first day was really hard for me, but everything else went really well.

Omar came by today and brought a lady who gave me a pedicure and a manicure on my SO. They have taken very good care of us. My SO keeps telling Dr. Kelly that Omar deserves a raise.

Today, we were talking to a lady in the lobby who is in Tijuana for cancer treatment. Omar offered to drive her to the Oasis Hospital just above where Dr. Kelly does surgery when he was bringing other people to the hospital. Two nights ago, when everyone went to dinner, anything they didn't finish, he had wrapped to give to the homeless. He is a very, very kind man.

I'm flying out Friday and having my surgery on Saturday. I'll be there until the 4th also!!

I met the lady and her family that had surgery on Saturday. I probably won't get to see you again until you get to the hotel, but we have been spending time with your aunt and grandma. You have such a lovely family.

Joe and I plan to go back and visit too. I set a weight goal that I want to reach before I go back to visit. I want to have my picture taken with Dr. Kelly again when I've slimmed down!

      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.
