I'm using a Light Me too. If you look at their website you will see pics of a new hospital then pics of Cornerstone. They are using the new one. I notice that they had added to new pics so I e-mail Janese. I still need to contact Maria.

The time is going to go by so slow' date=' sorry you still have a month to go. I booked the first part of August and time has started to stand still... [/quote']

@ NWLA which website did you go to? Do you know the name of the new hospital? When I booked a cpl weeks ago Janese td me they were using cornerstone. Wonder if I can change where it's being done?

Alighterme.com, I also e-mailed her. Here's her answer, "We recently (like maybe 2 weeks ago) moved to this hospital, its beautiful from what I have been told by Dr Lopez."

I guess when you are leaving the hospital, I will be checking in. I'm flying United, the flight times were better.

So I am 95% sure I'm going with dr. Ponce de leon. I am planning my sleeving for 3/11/13. I want to try and drop 30-50 lbs 1st. Excited and anxious!! My mom has changed her mind and plans to accompany me. She still isn't a believer but she doesn't want me alone.

Don't you think you will need more time off than a week?

Idk. I will play it by ear. Fortunately I have a desk job. I was able to return to work a week after laproscopic gall bladder 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.
