That's great! I went alone and I was lonely. I had dr. verboonen in Cancun also. Everything was fine. You only get to see the surgeon for a few minutes before the surgery and a few minutes the next day. Dr. verboonen speaks English well enough. It's the nurses that you communicate with the most and most of then don't speak a lot of English. They are really nice though. Dr. Perez took out my drain and he spoke English really well.

You're welcome. The pain was about like a regular surgery. It did hurt some but I thought it was going to hurt a lot more. They give you pain meds in your IV so that handles the pain. By the third morning I was really ready to leave and the pain was not bad at all. No complications, no nausea, no leaks, nothing bad at all. I've lost 57 pounds in 3 1/2 months.

      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.
