Is it difficult' date=' I want to use dr Fernando Garcia.[/quote']

I may have to go alone as well... I've read many stories of people going alone, and they have no problems. Some even prefer to go alone because they feel like they aren't having to keep someone else company lol I have mixed feeling about it. My family isn't being very supportive so I would probably be better off going solo anyway than having someone negative yapping in my ear!

Perhaps you could find someone on here to go at the same time?

I like your suggestion, when it comes to my family they do not have a say because I am the one suffering by being FAT.

I'm in the same boat as Jesser.

I prefer to go alone. And the more un-supportive people are, it seems like I want to do this more and more.

Thanks that makes me feel so much better also. My hubby may be able to go! Looks like our finances along with his job schedule will allow it!

I went alone and I was fine. There were other people who had surgery in my wing so I made some new friends and had someone to talk to. I was actually glad my friend wasn't able to make it. I didn't always feel like chatting and there wasn't much to do for the three days in the hospital. I would have felt obligated to entertain her when all I wanted to do was take a nap.

What'd you do with your stuff while you were in surgery? That is my biggest concern of going alone...

      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.
