I'm jealous you guys actually get food?

A final big meal... That I couldn't finish because I got too full.

Hey Amanda! I will be there in two weeks with Dr. Aceves and it's awesome to see such a recent posting from someone that is actually there! I can't wait to meet Dr. Aceves, Dr Campos, Yolanda and the rest of the crew. I've heard so much about Ernesto too! Mostly I just want the surgery to go off without complications and I really look forward to hearing about your experience! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Didn't want to crash your thread..but want to wish you luck! I had my surgery with Dr Aceves 11 months ago - my experience was fabulous. As a RN and as a bariatric patient, I can't say enough good things about Dr Aceves, Dr Campos, and my whole experience at Hospital Almater.

Best wish for a speedy recovery!

      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.
