Canadian raindrop- I am going down on the 19th with my partner. I had my surgery in NY in march, 2013. She doesn't qualify through insurance so we booked with Dr. Garcia. Not sure if you will still be there when we get there. Her surgery is on the 20th.

SkinnyGirl, are you going to be at the Marriott and Mi Doctor? My surgery is January 20 with Dr. Lopez at Mi Doctor! I fly to San Diego on Jan 19!

Yes we are going to Mi doctor. Flying in on the 19th. My partners surgery is on the 20th with Dr. Garcia. We are staying in hospital 2 days then back to Marriott for 2 days and then we decided to stay outside of San Diego for another 3 nights before flying back to NY. This will give her a few more days recovery before she has to sit on a plane for 5-6 hours. When are you and your sister having surgery? I had my sleeve done in March 2013 in NYC. Very happy. Would do it all again even though its a really big adjustment.

      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.
