Thanks!! I think it's more head hunger than I'm experiencing than anything...I crave all the chocolates, cheeses, & cakes...I'm from Louisiana so majority of our foods are fried or smothered in rich gravies...it's sooooooo hard to find healthy foods...but I'm staying motivated and will hopefully get over this pre-op junk lol worst torture ever!!!!

@Kelly yes indeed the pics are amazing!!! @PenPen thanks a lot for the motivation!! Stay Encouraged!! Good Luck & we all need to keep in touch!!

Thanks to all of you!!!! My strength is back and I'm not giving up!!! @Kelly I went to obesityhelp & saw the results and got my mind back on track..Thnx a million!!!!!

Thanks to the both of you! I do have free foods and I've been eating them but right now I'm on a 10 day diet that consist of only meats & veggies...next 5 days will be two shakes & a low carb meal & then 14 days of a full liquid diet...I'm trying to stay strong but I live in Louisiana and nothing is really carb free or sugar free...but I'm trying!

So I've started my Pre-Op diet and I'm sooooooo hungry!!! I've been reading other pre-op diets but haven't ran across one like mine...OMG I don't wanna give up but I'm extra hungry and really don't know what to eat anymore...Ughhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Today starts my 30 day pre-op diet & I'm really confused on what I should eat..everybody is so different..some say little starch & some say no starch..why is everybody on different paths?? The goal is to shrink the liver but I'm confused...

Congrats on being sleeved!!!!

Thank You so much!!!

Just wondering if it's possible for someone to loose over 200lbs with the sleeve?? I keep reading but I only see where people lose 100lbs and that's about it..please let me know! Thnx!!

June 29th here!!! Start my 30 day diet today!!! I'm super excited!!!

Oh ok that doesn't sound too bad...my diet seems like a nightmare!!

Hello! So I'm getting ready to start my 30 day Pre-Op diet & I'm just wondering has anyone been on a 30 day pre-op diet?? My doctor is Almanza...the diet is broken up into sections...10 days of no carbs, sugars, or anything like that..next 5 days consist of 2 protein drinks and one meal..next 15 days consist of full liquid diet...OMG what am I gonna eat, drink, or do???? Someone who has been through this please help me out!! Thanks!!

Depends on the state your in...I work at a hospital and patients come in a lot with Medicaid and they end up with a bill because most bariatric doctors do not accept Medicaid. Try just using your BCBS & see what happens. Inbox me if u have questions..

Thnx Ya'll!!!

Does anyone have any pics of the hotel?? Out of 5 stars what would you rate the hotel?? My room is booked but just curious to know a little bit more about the hotel...

It's official now I will be staying at Hotel Ticuan!!! I just had my coordinator book my room...I'm more at peace now knowing that I will have privacy. Thanks to all of you for the help!!

Ok great! Hotel Ticuan it is! I viewed pics online and it looked very nice and clean. Did you have to book your room ahead of time??

Thanks ToDream!! I'd prefer staying at the hotel..I'm gonna check your blog out now. I just prefer privacy and comfort. Thanks for the reply!!

At the Recovery House for the Jerusalem Hospital do the patients have to share a room?

B/C I will have personal belongings & money with me and for me to go to sleep with my belongings out scares me b/c I don't know these people.

Ok so I'm having surgery with Dr Almanza and have to stay in the Recovery House and I don't want to share a room with anyone. Anyone that has been can you let me know if you have to share a room or not??

Don't give up! Keep the FAITH!!
