Yeah, I am looking for ideas also. Today is my first day of puree. I just had one egg, scrambled, light cheese, a tsp of ketchup and some pepper. I ate about 3/4 and felt completely satisfied. Excited for tuna!

I'm day 6 post op. Self-pay Mexico, Dr. Garcia. Just expect to not get any liquids down right after surgery, maybe your experience will be different but myself along with quite a few others stated that it is next to impossible, painful, constant burping when sipping etc. 64 oz of liquids in general, not just water. The more water, the better of course. I have been and still am struggling getting the amount of liquids and water I need! Don't be too worried, it will work out. The post op plane seems detailed, but I found myself having a million questions. Email and asking when you're there are the best, they'll promptly respond! Isopure is a good option, if you can stand it post-op. I thought all the flavors minus apple melon were so yucky! Water it down 60/40 or 50/50! Chicken broths... add pepper. The stuff at the Marriott (if that is where you're staying) is very good! Try other broths (mushroom, veggie, miso, etc) if you dislike chix. - Mariah

I am the person whom told you to stop eating ****. All of you that are farther along have your ups, downs and inbetweens, as do us newly born into the sleeve world. There are struggles on day one, day 10, day 365, and day 43534, your struggle isn't special, it isn't uniquie, so please spare me your superior attitude. The people that you are calling negative and judgmental all have a few things in common: determination to be better, an Iron will and a no bullshit policy with themselves. That isn't to say you aren't, but where people get irritated is, it is annoying to see someone post something like what you posted. Why? Because it is very commonsensical what you should do. If it isn't, I shall help you: think back to when you got this surgery. Why did you do it? Think of your thoughts then. As I said before, stop eating ****, to sum up. I haven't experienced your "stage-specific" struggle, obviously because I am not there yet. So what would I do if I "fell off the wagon." Get back up on the damn wagon. Eat to live, do not live to eat. Be happy, live on.

Stop eating ****.

The hospital is smaller, it is nice. Everyone on Garcia's team is helpful and sweet. Bring a Spanish dictionary with you! You'll get to learn some new words

I am doing well now. I had surgery yesterday and today I had gas in my shoulder and burped quite a bit, but I am doing alright! You don't share a room, there is an extra bed in there for those that bring a friend/family member.

Hello! I am currently in the Florence hospital where Dr.Garcia operated on me yesterday! Since I arrived in San Diego, (where the driver Samuel picks you up), The staff for Ready4aChange, the staff at the Marriott and people in general are just so friendly, accommodating and kind! I highly recommend you get it done here also because I hear it is much less than getting it done in the US and ESPECIALLY Canada. It iis really, really worth it!

Look @ all of you beautiful women! I am a newbie here. Would you all mind adding me ? Username: LADYOMNOM My surgery is Monday!
