Hello Dr Alvarez patients,

I wanted to find out which hotel you were taken to when you arrived in San Antonio. My mother is going with us and we want to get her a room of her own & we're going a day early so we need to book an extra day for ourselves as well.

Do we go to Holiday Inn Express in Eagles Pass upon arrival?

After discharge, do we go to La Quinta by the San Antonio airport?

Call Susan, she should be able to help you 1-866-697-5338. When are you having your surgery? I'll be there on July 31, for surgery on Aug. 1st. I'm still waiting for my pre-op instructions, so that's the only information I can give you.

I'm excited... it's gonna be a long 5 weeks waiting.

We are getting sleeved on Sept 30...have 3 months to wait. Ugh!! I emailed Susan tonight so I'll see what she says.

Good luck to you. Do you have to do a pre-op diet? I have to do 2 weeks liquid diet and my fiance has to do 30 days; I'll end up doing the 30 days with him. At least that will give me a head start on losing.

I'm still waiting for my instructions from Susan, but in the first email she sent she told me I'd be on a liquid diet for 7 days before surgery.

Hi! The amount of time for the liquid diet is based on your bmi. I had to do ten long days. Lol. 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.
