I am officially scheduled for April 3rd, but I am going to move it up, thinking sometime mid-March!

My dad will be coming with me, my husband is being a baby over his vacation time..... LOL

Thought about coming alone, my dad is not the greatest person to watch his kids have surgical procedures, was once "removed" from the hospital when I had my tonsils removed, HA HA!

Coming out from Denver, researching flights today. Spriit seems to have the best pricing, but that comes with a lay-over in Vegas, which concerns me more on the flight home.

What hospital in St. Louis? If my insurance would have covered it, I would have done mine at DePaul Hospital.

      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.
