Mixing Skim Milk With Protein At 5 Days Out?
Candyman replied to Candyman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks I'll try it and see what happens. -
After waking up this morning to the first day of the rest of my new life. I was thinking of all the stuff I need to do. I have not done any shopping for my food. I need to start a routine for the time I'm home. I'm not going to sit in front on the TV and go walk at the mall. With how good I feel this time is not going to be wasted. But for this morning I need to go shopping and go walk at the mall.

I had my leak test this morning which came out good. Then the Doctor came in to my room and pulled my drain tube out (ouch). Then the nurse came in and ripped the tape off my hairy belly to change my badinages. And finely Trish came and took me and another truck driver to the hotel for one more night. Then I get to go home. This was a experience That I will never forget. It's the start of my new life. A new me which I will be able to play with my grand kids like I want to. And to be a better husband and father. It will all start when I get home tomorrow when I get home to my family.

I was just given this blue contrast dye for my leak test. Wow I don't think I can do it. It's awful. -
The Nastiest Stuff I Have Ever Put In My Mouth
Candyman replied to Candyman's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Dr Pronce and Trish were great. Overheard Trish and two ladies talking about pedicures. I said I want one and Trish said sure. Then I said just kidding. I wish some buddy would have told me about the TV stations here at the INT hospital. I would have brought some DVD's -
One of my non weight goals is to be able to get off the floor from sitting and not look like an upside down turtle trying to roll over.

Any May 29 Dates?!?
Candyman replied to Nanny3Kids's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got sleeved on Wednesday with Dr Pronce in Tijuana. His diet is 3 days of yogurt. It was a piece of cake. I think with all the VSG he does, we's learned that shrinking the liver is not as impotent as it once was thought. -
The night nurse at the int hospital in tijuana started my IV with one stick. I can't beleave it. It normily takes five or six stick. Boy is she good.

Day after surgery Day 2 and I'm not doing to bad. My stomach came back to life last night. with all its glory. It was moving around and making noisess all night. This morning after I got my IV meds I though up for the first time. it was interesting. Not much there just a little blood. The nurse looked at it and said it looked ok. I had some crushed ice last night and defiantly felt it. I'm looking foreword for my broth that I get when I move to the hotel.

I started Dr. Pronces three day yogurt diet this morning. I have learned that plain yogurt is nasty. Does anyone have any ideas to make this stuff more palatable. I asked Trish and she said needs to be plain. no fruit.

How To Finally Pick A Doctor-Kelly, Ponce De Leon, Almanza
Candyman replied to crystalintville's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Hi crystalintville, With all my research, I think all the doctors are good in tijuana. What made me decision was the pre op diet. Dr Pronce only requires a three day nothing but yogurt diet. That was a piece of cake. And Trish is amazing. , With all my recerch, I think all the doctors are good in tijuana. What made me decition was the pre op diet. Dr Pronce only requires a three day nothing but yogert. That was a piece of cake. And Trish is amasing. -
Well I made it. I'm here at the INT hospital in Tijuana Mx. And after a vary FAST ride from the airport. They got me checked in and I'm in room 306. After playing with the TV trying to get an english speaking station Trish came in and told me how to do it. She got me a nice pillow and we talked. She is so nice. I walked past the night nurse who was getting a shoot with a BIG needle ready for someone. I covered my butt as I walked past her and she laughed. Looks like I'm the first one in the morning. The internet works great after you get the password. Until the morning

Dr. Pronc De Leon at INT Hospital
-
I leave for Tijuana tomorrow afternoon. As some of you know I had to keep this surgery to myself. My wife and kids didn't want no part of this and if I told them it would have turned really bad. I think a lot of it is that they would be worried about me with the surgery and to top it off going to Mexico to have it done. I hope my family will eventually accept my decision and support me. This three day diet suck. I don't know if I could have done the ten day or two week diet. I fingered this would be my first sacrifice for the new me. And they'll be many more. I hope I can keep this blog going. I'm not much of a writer so excuse me if I mess this up. Or give you something to laugh at. lol :-) untill next time, see ya

I ended up putting in splenda and crystal light lemonade mix. much better.
