I had my surgery last Friday in Mexico. Though I did have my husband with me, most other people were alone. You CAN do this! Just a bump in the road to success....

I am 5 days out and have only lost 9 pounds total (pre-op, too). I was kinda hoping for more at this point so I know how you feel! I guess time will tell....

Thanks for all the responses!

Hi everyone! Just wanted to check in and ask a few questions. I am feeling pretty good (surprisingly better than I thought), but I am hungry. I am starting each day with a protein shake. Does anyone try non-pureed food at this point? Also, I have been walking a lot. Is it too much to walk two miles each night being so soon after surgery?

July 26th with Dr. Ismael Cabrera Garcia at Mi Doctor Hospital. Stayed at the Pueblo Amigo.

My experience was nearly the same EXCEPT Eduardo WAS NOT there when we arrived. After MANY phone calls and a 2 hour wait, we were finally picked up and taken to the hotel. Quite nerve-racking. Anyway...my surgery was Friday and I am home after a long day of traveling yesterday (Western New York). The rest of the experience was great, from the coordinator, Nissi...to the doctors and nurses (my favorite was Sam). Feel free to message me any questions you may have. Good luck to all!

OMG...amazing! You look great! I hope I am as successful as you have been!

I am on day 5 of pre-op...clear liquids only. I just stuck a tablespoon of peanut butter in my mouth! Help. I feel guilty!

Good luck! I am going Thursday... surgery Friday with Dr. Garcia! Keep us posted

So here I am on day 5 of pre-op diet. I was managing with the protein shake part of it, but this liquid only part sucks. I am hungry! This broth isn't cuttin' it, either.

My surgery is this Friday. I was on protein only since last Friday...shakes, meal replacement bars and the occasional hard-boiled egg. I started the liquid only diet today and am STARVING. I just shoved 3 gummy candies into my mouth and am feeling soooooooooo guilty!

I'm right there with ya'....day 3 of the pre-op diet and big time headache today! I am allowed to take Tylenol, so that helps. I'm gonna try to drink more water, too....Good luck to you! My surgery is the 26th.

I am having surgery on Friday, too (with Dr. Garcia). Let's keep in touch!

Here's to you!

My surgery with Dr. Garcia is this Friday. Just started pre-op yesterday. 4 days of protein and 3 days of clear liquids only. The first day wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! Good luck to you!
