Susie' date=' Soup was so good! I chose the French onion, every thing else was cream based or had noodles. It had the least calories too. Boy, was I hungry!! I have a Protein Shake for tonight and one for tomorrow , if they will allow me to take it on the plane.

Storm, it has certainly come quickly for me. The last week has been extra busy and I just didn't realize my time was here so quickly.

I will post tomorrow after we get to eagle pass!

Going to try to get some sleep, the wake up call is for 3:30 AM!

I just re-read what I wrote yesterday. According to my grammar mistakes, I was a lot more groggy than I thought. Lol. I've been awake alllllllll ***ht long. I deal with insomnia on a regular basis, but was really hoping for some sleep last ***ht. I think something (anesthesia, pain meds, anti-nausea meds) is making me sick, too. I had multiple episodes of dry heaves through the ***ht and had to lie very still in order to be semi-comfortable with that. As far as pain, I'm great. Very little pain at all, so that's a blessing.

I leave in the morning to head for Eagle Pass. I am going to have a very busy schedule as I am having some teeth pulled while I am there. So tomorrow evening, the dentist is sending his driver to pick me up for x-rays and impressions and then surgery on monday with my teeth being pulled on tuesday. I do believe it's going to be a busy schedule for me. Looking forward to everything though. Just 2 days away from the reinvention of myself.

      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.
