I'm scheduled for Nov 1st with Ortiz at the OCC. I sent away for my passport today - hopefully it gets here in time. Now I'm trying to figure out flight info and money....

Does anyone have any advice on flights home? There's a cheaper on that's got a 4 hour layover on the way back.... I think that might suck. Or it might be good to walk? Thoughts??

All of our flights have layovers aswell, we chose one with a longer layover for the way home. Give us time to stretch and not be in a rush. Plane tickets, we booked through Expedia because they were the cheapest. I have booked through them lots before so I don't have issues with it, but some people feel uneasy with not booking directly through a travel agent or airline. Please please please share with me your experience on the first!! I am there on the 25th :) Best of luck to you!!!

Looks like most people fly, my husband is driving me. 9 hours from home. I didnt want to be standing in lines, stuck smooshed on a plane or lay over time. It's possible I may regret my descision to drive but we shall see. My doc made me promise I will stop every hour and walk for a few minutes. 50 days left on the countdown. C'mon NOVEMBER !

      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.
