Girl, I live in San Diego..... You don't need to tip them.... but if you do and if you tip them well, I have heard that they will take you to some REALLY good places for shopping!

As for the can... what is that for?

I tipped the driver 5 bucks when I first arrived and then when I was going to the airport to return home I tipped him $20. He took excellent care of all the patients he was transporting and I just thought he deserved it. One lady handed him a few coins and he nearly laughed out loud:)

We gave $5 each to the driver who picked us up at airport but when we left we each gave Abraham $20. Be sure to have $1's to tip. The Bellhops are grabbing your bags before you get out of the van!

      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.
