Why wouldn't you be allowed to paint your nails? I don't see why not.

They want your fingernails clear of color so the pulse ox can read your oxygen level and your heart rate properly. Clear polish is ok and so is anything on your toes.

The question is a good one. I had clear polish and fake nails I was ok. The reason she asked was some hospital prefer no polish so the finger Oxygen Saturation machine reads acurately.

I am ok, just having some discomfort in my incisions. But I think it's from doing a bit too much. It's hard when you get home and immediately be Mom again. It took about 2 hours. Are you leaving tomorrow ?

Why does. It take so long to get across the border. Are you waiting in the van the whole time? My plane leave around 11am so will they be wanting to leave for airport around 8am. Just trying to get everything figured out

Yes you wait in the van the whole time. It is just congested with cars trying to cross. It was actually interesting to see all the stuff that the people are selling on the way out. But when you get to the officer at the station, just remember to only answer what they ask. If you talk too much it's a sign of lying and they will get suspicious. And they are ALL business no joking around.

I wasn't supposed to but I had acrylic nails on. They said it was fine for me to take the nail polish off my toes instead of ruining my fingernails nails I got the week before haha

      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.
