Yesterday FRIDAY THE 13 my flight was sposed to take off at 750am its an hr nd 30 min dr from my house i got a call at one in the morning saying my fligh was delayed til 926am but still make it to my final destination in time wich is sandiego to get sleeved in tj i had to arrive by the lates 1 to get my sleeve that same day. So i leave my house at 7 am to hve an hr to hve an hr to spare at the airport halfway into the trip i remembered i forgot my cashiers check!!!! I had to turn around nd i was gonna miss my flight! I spoke to an agent that was about to change my flight departure to 1030 with 75$ charge nd the call disconnected i called a few more times nd nothing disconnected then finally an answer the agent was soooo rude told my they didnt hve nothin to depart that same day only first class and that i would hve to pay extra $200 ughh i was dying then i said well i got insurance on my ticket she said sorry i dont see it nd u wont get a refund! It was the worse i had almost given up i ask the Lord plz help me i called back again nd a nice agent answered she told me she could get me in sandiego by 450pm the coordinator said by 2 the latest to get surgery or i would hve to do it the next day in the morning by this point i dnt care i just want to get to sandiego nd then i told her bout my surgery she kept looking and she found. Departure at 11:20 am to get to SD at 2pm i was so happy i flew out at 11:20 So i get a connection flight. Flight departing at 120 and in SD by 2 it was a 3 hr flight so then we all board at 1 an they said by 120 there was a delay some circuit wrong with the plane that only would take 20 mins... An hour passed!! They offloaded everyone! Said the flight couldnt depart cause it was something wrong with the plane but that on the broght side there was a brandnew plane coming to get us but didnt know how lon it would take.... We ended up departing at 4 got to sandiego 3 hrs later at 5 pm the coordinator spoke to the Dr and he waited for me so i still got my surgery a little worried after all the bad luck! Nd in the plane both flights i sat in the middle of two big men so i couldnt even strech so uncomfortable! I started to think maybe i just shouldnt get it.. But im glad i did im recoverin today with no gas pain no pain really nd doctor says everything looks good! Thank God .. He also said i was the youngest nd "thinnest patient he had" i got here signed some paper work got blood work staright to the Anesthesiologist nd from there i dnt remember anything until i woke up bout 6hrs later already with the surgery done very drowsy nf i went right back to sleep... I WAS A NERVE WRECK but finally its done :))

      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.
