I can't believe I'm saying this, but that surgery trip has to be one of the most fun things I've ever done. I was so glad to meet you and your mom as well as everyone else. The weather was beautiful, the hotel was beautiful, and it was just trippy to sit around eating our broth afterwards and really enjoying the whole thing. My husband has said that usually if I haven't eaten I get really cranky, but he said I was unbelievably pleasant the whole trip. :) It still feels like a dream, and I am all for a reunion if I can get the $$ together!!

Loved your photos and reading the notes.... While I had a different surgeon and different Hotel, it brought back memories of my experience. Mine was similar w/ meeting sleeve sisters and basically feeling like a vacation instead of a surgical visit. So glad you had such a positive experience.

A reunion...we'll work it out somehow! So glad to have met u guys!!

we are the 3 amigos of sleeve sisterhood hahahaha seriously for everyone getting ready to get sleeved, it SO helps if you can connect with one or two people through the forums, especially if they are going to be staying at the same hotel. I was so lucky to have these other 2 ladies to bond over stomach gurgling and burping with me hahaha walk walk walk sip sip sip! and we are keeping in touch and comparing notes as we progress through post op diet :)

      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.
