I'll be sleeved on the 16th with Dr.Garcia. Wish I could have gone earlier.. but I have a two year old at home and have to fly my mom in from Florida to watch him while im gone... anyway I am sooo excited that I can't sleep or think about anything else... I am also eating more than usual.. feeling anxious and I eat. Is anyone else experiencing this as your surg date gets closer?

That's good. My boyfriend doesn't want me to go alone, but if someone goes with me I will be responsible for their ticket and meals. Still trying to convince him that I will be okay.

Well lucky for me my friend was willing to pay her own way. With the package deal her transport to and from Mexico and lodging is on me so she was okay with paying her own flight. ...I understand ur BF being scared my mom was. My plan was to try and really get to know you all so ill be comfortable going alone meeting ppl their.

      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.
