OMG, you are coming to the West Coast!!!! Woohoo! Is OCC in Mexico?? And....we are going to be only one day apart! That is so exciting!

Yes, I'm going to the West coast from the East coast. :frown: And yes, I'm going to go to the OCC which is in Mexico. I'm also supposed to be traveling the following week to LA to see my sister. So it will be another East coast to West coast trip the very next weekend. That worries me a little bit. I just don't know what to expect.

So yes, one day from yours! Are you getting ready? What are you doing to prepare? Love your glitter tag!

I don't know the time yet - I go in for my pre op on thursday, 19 Feb. I will have to spend the night in Tucson on the 15 of Mar - we live about 2 hours away. I am hoping for an early time - just so I don't miss my coffee so much! I hope I am one of those people who do well after surgery - I am a teacher and I having surgery the first day of my spring break - so I will have a whole week to get use to the band and get back on my feet.

Why is you surgery so late in the day?

I don't know why my surgery is so late in the day. It would be nice to get it over with early in the day.

I'm sure the hospital will charge me for a whole day instead of a half day... don't you think?

I'll be melting in March too! I'm thrilled to be finally approved by BC/BS of Florida. It was a looong process, but will be worth every minute of it. Surgery date is March 9th.

March 13 for me, Friday the 13th if I'm not mistaken. Almost exactly one year from seminar to surgery.

Ditto for me! How coincidental. I think we also have a group discussion going on in the groups section.

I am in, I am in!!!! WOO HOO!

      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.
