That is awesome, I live in Kentucky, I love Mexican food and can barely spell Tijuiana. I'm glad that there will be someone else there that I have spoken with, I'm nervous, how about you.

I had my VGS with Dr verboonen 8/1/12. A roller coaster of emotions. There was minimul lingering discomfort for a few days but I did not take the prescribed pain meds. Frankly what stands out as the most discomforting was the sore throat from whatever tube they put down. A week later the soreness is gone but my normal deep voice has changed considerably. After being awoken after surgery I asked for something to help my throat pain but my requests were ignored. I feel some throat logenzes would have been of relief. I have no idea if I was an exception for I have seen no other comments about sore throats. VGS surgery greatly plays with your emotions (myself anyway) for if you loved to dine out & socialize with good food & friends that takes some major adjustments. In any case I am just relaying my recont personal experience. Good luck to you all

      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?

      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.
