I made it out of surgery OK. Everyone is really nice here. We waited for two hours at the airport for our ride, so be mentally prepared just in case. No leak on my first leak test yeah! Going to get some ice here in a minute.

A lady here said she had money stolen when she went for her leak test, so be careful with your stuff. She seems happy now though, so maybe the hospital worked something out or maybe she found it. I'm making my friend take my backpack every time she leaves. It has all our electronics and iIDs and passports.

I had a lot of pain in my shoulder yesterday, but its not so bad today. Best of luck to you. See you Thursday.

Wow I'm here too I haven't seem you. Dr Garcia is amazing. I have never seen a doctor more loving and caring than him. He hugged me and my best friend who also had surgery with me on the 5th when he saw us walking on the hallway. I would never want to go anywhere else. I too had lots of shoulder n gas pain but other than that I am fine.

I'm in room 305. I have ventured up to the 4th floor twice to see Barbara in room 401. My friend keeps going up to make her walk. Which floor are you on?

They said we would be going to the hotel early in the morning, but they didn't say if that was US early or Mexican early. They are very laid back here, so sometimes when they say 8 they really mean 11 or 12.

      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.
