I plan on flying in the day of, I haven't booked my flight yet...but I did some looking and it seems like it shouldn't be an issue. I'm relieved to have found someone on here that will be there the same time! We just recently moved and my husband is still within his 90 day probationary period and can't really take time off work to go with.

I am happy as well to have someone's who is also going through this! We will feel each other's pain. From everything I've read and talked with others, going alone actually sounds easier in so many ways. It's going to be like a mini vacation. 😊 I'm so excited and counting down the days. I really wish it was sooner but with my job I couldn't make it work any sooner. I just have a desk job, end of month is always crazy. Plus I thought I could wrap it up in a holiday and take one less day off, not to mention work should be light due to the holiday week. I'm in NC, where are you?

I'm in Idaho.. I planned it around his schedule which sucks!! But I agree, going alone will be easier. He was talking about how this will be a great vacation ect and when I said that I'll be in the hospital 3 of the days so only the first 2 would be pleasure he was all annoyed and was all acting put out because it wouldn't be a fun vaca

That's exactly how I feel. He's projecting something that he thinks will happen and instead of working together on the changes, he's sabotaging our relationship now. It's really sad too because we've been together for two-and-a-half years, we've talked about buying a house and getting married, we looked at engagement rings he has bonded with my kids and now in the last week I have not heard from him one time. He won't even answer my phone calls but then he'll send me a text like everything's fine. Then the next minute to me be could find a younger, hotter woman anytime.. I honestly don't even get it and it's hard to understand but I feel like I'm not going to put up with it I can do way better and I can be alone I'm perfectly okay with that.

I'm sorry your dealing with that! Men definitely can be exasperbating. Ugh. I hope he will realize before its to late. Mine did but I had to walk away for a minute and now we are happily married. Although, if he doesn't just remember, he wasn't your forever after story. Regardless you will be happy!

My husband was ready and willing to go but like you mentioned, he would also want to be in vacation mode and I'd be telling him to go to the beach or somewhere. This way he can take care of our daughter and the dogs and I can just relax. 😊

I'm in the same boat. I do financials and end of the month is pretty much out of the picture. I'm from PA, but recently moved to NJ for work. I told my husband that he s not missing much, as I probably wouldn't be too fun lol

Absolutely I will try and post Monday afterwards. Hoping I'm early on the schedule. I'm a early riser and would love to knock the surgery out and be on the road to recovery. Come find me when you arrive, if they give you a minute. 😊 I'll look for you as well. I'm trying to add my photo on here to my profile and when I tap the button to open file it doesn't. I'll get it there lol.

      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.
