I am hoping for 4/14. Who is your surgeon? When are you going? Which hotel? Which hospital? I am going to go by myself. I would love to have a buddy.

I am pretty sure I am going with Dr Illan. Do you know that Jerusalem Hospital is not really a hospital but a clinic in a strip mall. If you have any complications you would be sent via ambulance to a real hospital. If you are comfortable with that I am cool with that. I just thought I would tell you I case you didn't know. Also you should check into where you go to recover.

I'm undecided yet if I'm going in April or the first week in may. My doctor will be Dr. Illan. I had anxiety this week when I was thinking on scheduling in march so I am giving myself a few days to pick my surgery date.

I am having my sleeve on Friday, April 11th with Dr. Cabrera. I am so nervous and excited! I have done so much research and made my mind up that this is the best decision for me and my health. I am staying at the Marriott Tijuana and surgery at Hospital MI Doctor. I am concerned about how much time I really need to take from work. Flying on the 10th, surgery on the 11th and currently going back to work on Monday the 21st. Just wonder if I need another day or two....

      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.
