I'm the same way! When I make a decision, I'm ready to act on it. I've got my pantry stocked too! :-)

We just landed in San Diego. Have to wait until 3pm for the Jerusalem Hospital Shuttle to pick us up. Just glad there is WiFi. LOL

I'll be posting video throughout the days of my experiences. Visit youtube and search for my channel: Daves VSGliving

Dave, keep us posted. I subscribed to your YouTube videos, but I still want to know you're okay. I still haven't heard from Decemberroses, and it worries me!

Border3, how are you doing my friend? I thought about you all day, and also Decemberroses who still hasn't checked in "after" surgery with Dr Almanza. I wonder if you're forbidden to use social media or something? Let us all know how you're doing.

I'm here, don't know what happened to Decemberroses or Borders3. Unfortunately, I'm last today :-). Hotel Ticuan is lovely, old, but classically lovely. Everyone has been so great. Well, I'm about to go downstairs and get on the van. If you read this whisper a prayer. Love to everyone.

I've been here and there. I just got a bad sore throat after I got home and have been really tired and drained. I hope your surgery goes fantastic and you have a quick recovery, drowdie!

Decemberroses, you're okay!!!! I'm so glad yo wrote in today, especially as I lay here waiting with my legs wrapped, IV in, and wondering when???

I have Andres, the male nurse till 7:00pm. Maybe, I'll have the surgery before then. Hope Border3 is okay. I wonder if you got the sore throat from the general anesthesia.

Are you on puréed yet? Thinking of you and appreciate your writing in today.

I bet it was from the tube in my throat. I'm still on liquids right now. It was hard to really care about getting anything down the first several days. Now I try to get that Protein in because I know it will help with healing. How many are in the room with you?

      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!!
