Guys only , and women only take over the thread hahaha , reverse psychology I need a laugh big time with how my day is going lol anyone feel free to tell a joke.

I am tomorrow as well. Have to report at 6:30 am. Prayers for everyone!

I’m a little over 3 weeks away from surgery and trying to prepare. What kind of vitamins did everyone like best? What did you eat in the liquid phase post op? What about purees? I’m a bit of an OCD planned and starting to panic a bit because I don’t have anything prepared.

Please help me out here. I have a lack of understanding about "cream soup". Does that mean like a can of tomato soup made with milk? Does it mean black bean soup that has been puréed! What about pea soup or broccoli cheese soup that has been puréed?

I realize that my current weight is higher than some people’s start weight - but today, I broke the 200s. A lifetime of being obese, this is monumental for me! I converted my sleeve to bypass on 9/11, was 314 on surgery day. My high weight was 460. This journey is long and winding, take pleasure in every step of the way!

Hey hey. Just found out this morning that I got a surgery date. 10/9/17!! I'm super excited. I started my liquid diet yesterday because I received my insurance letter on Sat with an inpatient date of 9/28. When I spoke to the scheduler she said they had to put an arbitrary date for insurance but will call them and update it. I can't wait to be on the losers bench. I'm staying positive that these next two weeks on liquid only will fly by. Question...are we allowed to chew sugar-free gum during the liquid diet?? Any feedback will be appreciated. Thx

Impressive stats!!!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322]

This is true. I meant to say that I have no general deposit that must be paid now. But yeah I have the same. And I'll be making that deposit 3 weeks in advance. I've done as much research as I could. And I feel comfortable with Dr Q and his staff. Plus Jack has been really responsive and pleasant.

Thete will be soo many Americans there going through the same thing. Your driver will pick you up at airport, most likely other patients too. Get to know this group. You will meet others at the hotel too. These people will be your support network while there. You will be ok. Make sure you walk the halls, as instructed post op. I still keep im touch with some in the group I met. I had surgery in Mexico Oct 3. My dr. was Dr. Cabrera. Awesome! You might find a,slight language barrier with some nurses. Just a few. The staff are awesome. Good luck and keep me posted. Whos your dr. Sent from my SM-J700T1 using the BariatricPal App
