So, today I got on an airplane and came to San Diego where I was picked up by Abraham with alighterme, and driven across the boarder to Tijuanna and settled into the Marriott. I will be first or second tomorrow, will be picked up at 6:45 am to go to the hospital. My surgeon is Dr. Lopez and Dr. Ortiz who work with MiDoctor Hospital. So far I am thrilled and of course nervous too! Abraham was super nice, a little bit of a scary driver, but we made it in one piece :D The Marriott is nice, the room is spacious. I just got back to the room from soaking in the hot tub for awhile, and man did that feel nice after 9 hours of travel time!!! Ready to hit the sack now, I will update as soon as I am able after my surgery!!! :)

Dr. Lopez did my surgery and that along with the care in the hospital was first rate. Abraham is a great guy. He mostly makes his money on tips and deserves them. Say hi to Abraham for me.

Good luck.

      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.
