Congrats to both of you. Even if you don't meet anyone before your surgery, the wing you will be in is all Dr Aceves patients and so you will be able to get to know each other there. I did not know that Barb and Ursula and Maria were going to be there but we found each other and are continuing to contact each other. You will have a excellent trip/experience. If you are going alone and have questions, pm me and i will give you my email /cell and feel free to text me at any time.

I agree with Norma - I knew Ruthi was going to be there, but didn't know CYates until Lucy said "there's someone else from NV here too" and so I just knocked on her door and introduced myself.

Me me me! Same day!

Wow! How exciting! Lets exchange details.

I'm scheduled for the 23rd too, but my surgery will be here in Costa Rica. I look forward to comparing details with you all afterwards!

~ Prayers and best wishes!

Congrats. to all of you. You are gonna love your sleeve.

And those of you who are going to Dr Aceves are going to love him and Dr Campos! You won't believe how much better the care is in Mexico compared to the USA.

Good luck to you too Done! And thanks to everyone for the support. I am getting very excited. I definitely think I am gaining 5 pounds before I go though as I keep making sure to have all my favorite things I think I wont eat for a loooong time. I hope I have the effect of losing my taste for sweets, that would be great. I have been having bagels, cream of wheat with butter and sugar, oatmeal cookies, korean bbq, pasta, Pho, frozen yogurt. But I do feel like I am forcing myself sometimes to eat something a little less healthy even when I would just prefer some fresh pineapple or some green tea. It is wierd. I ordered a couple books on emotional eating that I am going to start reading on the plane on the way to SD. I actually love broth of all types and tea so I hope that helps me get through the liquid phase. I dont however drink sweet drinks so I am a little worried about getting in the protein. Anyone know of a powder that can be added to broth or tea without too much texture or flavor? most of the protein drinks are sweet sounds like.

powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury brand makes an unflavored and chicken broth protein mix.

I personally could not tolerate any of the flavors. But, most everyone around knows, that I'm way beyond picky when it comes to protein mixes/powders/drinks.

You can order samples from this following link.

Some people absolutely swear by Unjury, but it just wasn't for me.

How exciting....Dr.Aceves and his team are wonderful! I was sleeved there on Nov. 10. It was a great experience and the hospital was more than I could of asked for. Your time there will be worth it.

How cool, you'll be able to keep up with each other on this great website. Best of luck to all....Can't wait till it is my day.
