I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.

With a dream and my cardigan

Welcome to the land of fame excess,

Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab

Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy

Everybody seems so famous

Hi all. Enjoying my visit/mini vaca. The weather is like Summer. Such a tease to an Ohioan. My stomach has been taken over by a colony of butterflies!!!

Heading to San Diego on Saturday morning for some adventuring and then headed to Mx on Sunday.

My emotions are warring inside me back and forth between "Hooray" and "WTF am I doing?!?! :-/

Amanda I am SO excited for you. I love reading your posts and am so happy for you that your turn is finally here!!! You'll be in my thoughts during your trip!!

I grew up in San Diego and spend about a week a month or so there still, so I happen to agree that San Diego is better than LA! lol Love LA, but San Diego is definitely less crowded and just covered in beautiful views!! Enjoy your visit. If I was there now I'd force you to meet up!! ;)

Best wishes for an easy and successful surgery!!!

Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement. San Diego bound in a few hours. I hope the weather keeps up this amazingly beautiful trend we've had so far. I'm very overwhelmed. No doubt, huh? More scenic pics.

      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.
