Recommended Posts

Thanks for posting this info and pics!!

I am planning to be there this time next month and I love seeing and reading about the trip!

Did they give you any kind of pre-op diet to follow, I emailed that question to Nina but have not gotten a response on that yet.(just asked her last night)

Thanks again, I hope you have an easy recovery and can't wait to hear all about it when you feel up to it!biggrin.gif

Loved the blog. You made my have a good laugh that you were the scariest one because you had no make up on. I am a week and a bit behind you and not believing that this is going to happen. Keep us posted on your progress.

you're welcome...I hope it helps. I didn't have a pre op diet because my BMI is less than 40. I believe they only do pre op diet for over 40. I plan on doing lots of pics over the next few days and if I get brave, maybe a video or 2.

That would be great! I would love to see some videos! Take us on a walking tour of the hospital if they will let you!

Quick question, I will be flying into San Diego the night before, too, so that I wont have to leave home before daylight the day of pre-op. If you don't mind, how much was your room at the Hilton?

No clue. I travel alot so I just used my Hilton points. Someone suggested the Hampton Inn but I'm just not a big fan of the Hampton. My room at the Hilton was beautiful.

I have a few pics of the room and view. Just don't know how to imbed into this post.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
