Uneventful flight! Cecy found us easily and easy across the border. I have signed a mountain of concent forms and just was visited by the phlebotomist who performed the most pain free blood draw I have ever had! Still dreading the IV though. I am told they have me in for 9am tomorrow. I may need help to sleep. All the staff have been SO warm and friendly too.

Thank you for all the good wishes!

I had surgery with Dr. Kelly in August.

Good luck with your surgery! :)

I remember the guy who took my blood. I couldnt believe how fast and pain free it was. He was so relaxed and friendly. He joked that people called him a vampire because he didnt have to look for a vein. He was very calming.

      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.
