Sounds as though you have it figured out ;) my hubby and I ate @ the Chinese Chop Chop place. Soup was very good. The pool is a nice place to sit in the evening. Sit by the steps and put your feet in and cool off. Nice and relaxing!

Hugs to you ! You are going to do do well!!

Hey Hun, hope ur recovering well. Weird but my throat still bothers me, I'm going to ask my doctor if she can prescribe me something stronger. How was everything in mx? I'm still struggling with good intake, hopefully will get there soon ;).

My surgery isnt until a week before Christmas...and I cant wait! I want to start packing now but that would be ridiculous, right? ;-)

Yeah..I am counting the days. My husband knows but no one else so I wonder how I will get away with Thanksgiving...hmmm. Ill come up with a game plan until then. Best of luck to all of us in this journey...and I look forward to meeting everyone..online or at the reunion...

One question: when does it hit you? That you will have the surgery and that the rest of your life begins??

Well I went and took a hot shower last night before bed. It really soothed the body out. Crawled in bed around 11 and had the alarm set for 530. I wanted time to get things packed back up, straighten/freshen up, and do what I needed on the computer and still be ready by 7:15 for when Rosy comes to pick us up.

I have to say I tossed quite a bit last nite. I even ended up on my tummy a few times which is odd. My tummy must know it will be awhile before it can do that. I remember seeing the clock a few times during the night, but I feel rested. I actually woke up at 5:10 and decided wth. So I got up, dressed, and trying to be somewhat quiet since Hubby is still sleeping.

I am anxious about today, ready to get this started. What does have me nervous is the pulling of some teeth tomorrow. Now that scares the crap out of me. LOL. But I know everything will go fine. Today I will take my first seat on the loser's bench forever. I asked that my name be permanently engraved there. No more wiping it off from regaining weight.

I am scheduled for August 10 with Dr Alvarez . I am ready but still very nervous. I am going alone. My daughter starts school Monday and my wife is staying home to take care of her.

I have heard many going alone and I have been tracking others that have gond before me and feel like I should be fine. Good luck to all that are getting sleeved today!

      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.
