Your I great hands! Good choice and good luck to you!

Thank You! I am so excited but nervous at the same time? Did you have your procedure with him? If you did how was your experience?

I did! On the 18th of this month. It was a great experience, everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Everyone speaks English except for the nurses, but it's easy to communicate for the most part! The biggest tip I could give you is to take GasX strips with you! You will be so thankful you did! And I am so glad my sleeve sister did, because I needed them. Lol. They give you a run down of everything that will occur, you will not be blindsided by anything. Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos have amazing bed side manor. The anastesiologoist (sp) is amazing, hospital was very clean and nice, and so was the hotel.

      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.
