Yay nomore!!! We will probably be in the van with you if you are getting picked up this morning!!!! Lol we are at the hospital now but came in yesterday for same day surgery.... The surgery has been moved to today because my partner threw away her money order by accident at the airport yesterday... we now have to be driven back to San Diego to go to her bank this morning to get a new money order issued and the old one canceled! They would not do surgery unless she was paid in full first. What a mess -----but we will prob see you soon! Ps florence is ok... I had the Mi hospital for my surgery......and they both have their negatives and positives.....so far hot Water broken but they have since fixed it..... Tv very small and barley hear it with 5 English speaking channels(I'm not a huge tv watcher anyway) broth Jello and liquids have to be ordered and take about 30 min to get.....no where for me to eat anything but there is an order out menu lol...... in Spanish.... The cafeteria is buffet only and my partner has to buy vouchers for me.... I took a look and its not for me as its basically all vegan..... Lol I normally don't complain just sharing all that we have learned so far! There is food spots a block or two and stuff down by the beach which a little scary to walk....but we tried this yesterday....anyway we are managing and we will see you soon!!!! :)

      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.
