I was just discharged from MI Doctor a few hours ago, now at the Marriott. I had Dr. Garcia. This is a small, boutique, hospital but it is much better than a surgical clinic, IMHO, because of the multiple nursing staff and various doctors on duty at all hours. It isn't fancy, but the internet is BLAZING fast and they helped me out a great deal. They did leave my IV in too long also and my BP spiked, but it came down when that was pulled. I've been peeing non-stop since then. The only thing I didn't like was the drain but that's pretty common. It is near a major thoroughfare, so bring air plugs although if you go through Ready4Achange, they will give you a "welcome" kit with ear plugs in it.

When you are up for it and don't mind I know all of us would love to hear a detailed account of your experience.

      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.
