We just landed in San Diego. Have to wait until 3pm for the Jerusalem Hospital Shuttle to pick us up. Just glad there is WiFi. LOL

I'll be posting video throughout the days of my experiences. Visit youtube and search for my channel: Daves VSGliving

Dave, keep us posted. I subscribed to your YouTube videos, but I still want to know you're okay. I still haven't heard from Decemberroses, and it worries me!

Border3, how are you doing my friend? I thought about you all day, and also Decemberroses who still hasn't checked in "after" surgery with Dr Almanza. I wonder if you're forbidden to use social media or something? Let us all know how you're doing.

I'm here, don't know what happened to Decemberroses or Borders3. Unfortunately, I'm last today :-). Hotel Ticuan is lovely, old, but classically lovely. Everyone has been so great. Well, I'm about to go downstairs and get on the van. If you read this whisper a prayer. Love to everyone.

I've been here and there. I just got a bad sore throat after I got home and have been really tired and drained. I hope your surgery goes fantastic and you have a quick recovery, drowdie!

Decemberroses, you're okay!!!! I'm so glad yo wrote in today, especially as I lay here waiting with my legs wrapped, IV in, and wondering when???

I have Andres, the male nurse till 7:00pm. Maybe, I'll have the surgery before then. Hope Border3 is okay. I wonder if you got the sore throat from the general anesthesia.

Are you on puréed yet? Thinking of you and appreciate your writing in today.

I bet it was from the tube in my throat. I'm still on liquids right now. It was hard to really care about getting anything down the first several days. Now I try to get that Protein in because I know it will help with healing. How many are in the room with you?

      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.
