@@tiger1961 , when are you doing your bowel prep (taking the laxative)? You are scheduled for Monday, right? Just wondering. I have to fly to Mexico on the 3rd for my surgery on the 4th and do not want to be having diarrhea on the plane. Sorry about the TMI, but just getting a bit anxious about that part.

@@mdlange,

I am flying out Southwest of Dallas on the 5th early in the am, and the surgery is scheduled for the same day. Yes, my husband and I are staying at the Marriott. My Dr is Jose Luis Curiel. He is newly partnered with Dr. Elias Ortiz. I'm not sure which hospital I'll be in actually. My name is Carla Martin, look me up there.

@@signexp , I fly out of Houston early on the 3rd (we live in Galveston), surgery first thing Wednesday morning! My husband is Michael Lange and I am Denise. At Vida, they don't let the guys stay overnight, so Michael will be by himself at the Marriott. It will be nice to hook up with some Texas peeps!

Some friends of mine had it done there with rave reviews of the facility and medical providers. Just booked my flight into San Diego yesterday! YAY!

      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.
