I'm so excited! I'm getting sleeved January 20 by Dr. Alejandro Lopez in Tijuana, Mexico! He operates out of Hospital MI Doctor if anyone else is going to be there! Let's meet up!

Hello, I get sleeved by him on the 21st of Jan. So, we can certainly meet up. I live in Cinti but will fly to San Diego on the 20th

That sounds great! I am flying from Seattle to San Diego on Sunday the 19th. Cathy said that I am the first surgery for the morning of the 20th, and my mom is right after me. We are so excited to start our "new" life!

So time is flying by, and before I know it Friday morning will be here. I am first thing in the morning have to be there at 5:30 am. I have been cleaning my kitchen all day rearranging everything cleaning out the cabniets and even the fridge, I know my husband and daughter think I'm going crazy my OCD is definitely in full force today just want everything in irder before Friday not trying to come home to a disaster. Bad enough I am gonna gave to depend on a 13 year old to cook and clean since my husband burns Water they'd probably starve uf it was up to him. LOL.

I'm scheduled for the 7th of Jan.... my doc has advised me 1pc of either chicken or fish a day with Soups, green vegetables & skimmed milk/yoghurt. I did hear him say 'no' to natural sugars from fruits but not so sure! Could someone pls advice if natural fruits/juices are allowed on the pre-op diet. lunch, dinner isn't so much of a problem as Breakfast is! Any ideas on how to cope in the mornings? I don't get shakes, powders, etc where I live! Thx in advance

You should probably give your doctors office a call. I have noticed all doctors are so different with the pre op diet. I can have 100% fruit juices but no fruit.

      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.
