I am scheduled, April 3rd! I was trying to schedule to where I flew in and out on the cheapest days, haha.

I am also at the Mi hospital.

My husband does not want to use his vacation time to come with me. My first choice is my mom, but I need someone to watch my daughter while I am there. I may be stuck with my dad, or try and do this alone.

Albertagirl, maybe we will see each other!

So are you traveling alone or have a partner?

I'm going alone. My husband and kids will be in San Diego on vacation while I have the surgery. I've had friends offer to go with me, and I feel bad, but I keep talking them out of it. I really want to have the time to just focus on me and sleep when I want.

That's funny my husband don't want to use his vacation time either. He wants to save it for fishing. Lol. I may have a friend come with me but feel obligated to cover airfare, passport, etc. it would be nice to have someone there but I am also a loner and might enjoy the alone time to recover.

      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.
