If you green card will not expire anytime soon you should be fine to re-enter US.

Maybe someone know if I need to drive to TX I have a green card it's will be ok to come back?

Mistimed I go to LVH but the surgeon doesn't take my insurance! Can you believe it? And to the girl that has to go on ore op diet Dec 26 just relax and do it. I start mine tomorrow and I will not cheat because this has to be a permenant change so on the day you have to start think of it as practice for the hospital. I've read on here if you practice eating slow not drinking and eating at same time etc it is easier after surgery. We can and will do this!

That's a great app. I am also trying to loose a few before my surgery january 23rd. Considering I have put on over 10 since I forst met with my surgeon I'm thinking it might be a good idea!

      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.
