I requested to have surgery at the Florence Hospital on May 10. I'm still up in the air about the Single-incision. I don't want to spend the extra 1K, but I really don't want to be cut on in several areas. I don't have any scars on my stomach now; kind of want to leave it that way.

He does one while you're under, and two after. You drink a clear liquid and then a blue one. You also have

x-rays that you take home

Yay! Can't come soon enough! Is everyone else pigging out now?? Lol

I have eaten so much that I am sick of food. My husband told me I better stop eating before they end up charging me more because I weigh more than what I told them. Lol. I'm tired of food. I might start Pre-op early.

I'm in the process of confirming for May 30 with Dr. Garcia - so good to see people posting positive stuff about him. I'd love to hear more of your experiences before I finalize my package!

      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.
