Arrives at the Marriott. It's much nicer then WMO expected. Sam was great- gave us a little tour of San Diego. It really only took about 20 minutes to get to the Marriott from the airport. That included being randomly selected to be checked crossing the border. Sam told us crossing into Mexico was no big deal at all because Mexico Doesn't care who comes in. The difference in the borders and security was interesting... You can see the US side as your cross the other way. Mexico had guys in construction vests and then border patrol. It was quite different. We were picked to be searched and sam just explained why we were there and what was going on. They took a quick peek in the car and that was it.

The hotel is nicer then we expected. We arrived and the bell hop immediately took our luggage. We checked in quite quickly and then we were escorted to our room. They really do treat us very nicely. Once we were in the room we received a call from Rosie and she will be in to talk shortly. Overall it's going great so far!

      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.
