I was beginning to think that I would never be able to have the VSG done. After having to re-schedule my surgery twice and then just postponing it due to personal and financial issues; I finally set a date that I can keep! I will definitely be flying to San Diego on August 20th and having surgery in Tijuana August 21st!

I prayed real hard about my issues and my prayers were answered. I'm ready to start my new journey.

Congrats! It's exciting to know your day will be coming soon! And it's wonderful weather here in Southern CA (which is pretty much the norm). You'll love it! Good luck!

Thanks you guys! And yes it was very disappointing to have to re-schedule. I had my hopes up too.

Nothing will get in my way this time and I am going to make sure of that! Even if I have to go alone.

I can't wait to experience that Southern California/ TJ Mexico weather! The weather in Arkansas sucks. It's always hot and humid or storming in the summer. Ugh!

I understand completely...I set my date so far in advance im praying my situation will allow to go in November but I've already booked my flight and booked me a room the night before because I arrive in San Diego after 11pm...I am hoping this is a good sign!!!

      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.
