I wish all of you much success!!!!! I am a Feb 1st Sleever and I am super excited and ready to get this done. I also looked at options in Mexico before deciding on Blossom. My Husband and I are frequent visitors to Vegas so this just seemed like the logical choice for me as Blossom had great reviews like many of the centers in Mexico.

Getting closer to our surgery dates! I just ordered my Protein Shakes online for my liquid diet on Friday. I was able to get Boost Smart Calorie at Walmart for $7.84 for a 6 pack so I ordered 11 and plus side its being delivered to my door. My Dr's office charges $22 for a box of Protein shakes that has 7 servings . Thought I would share my deal finder in case anyone elses Dr's office lets them have Boost Smart Calorie for the liquid diet. Good Luck!!!! :)

Insurance approved! They took only a couple days. Now I am waiting on a surgery date. The doctors office said they will call within a week to give me a date. They said probably surgery end of February beginning of March....

Congrats Julia! My pre op diet starts on the 3rd and my surgery is on the 11th. I’m feeling a lot of nerves! Everyone keeps assuring me of my decision which is very helpful.

Does anyone else feel like it’s surreal? I’m just going about my life as if I’m not having surgery in a few weeks. I’m trying to get my thoughts on order but I don’t even know where to start with prep work! Ie Vitamins, grocery shopping, prepping in advance for purées stage, what to pack, etc....

      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.
