Yes our diets are about the same and I just realized I am only 4 days out not 5 lol And I am suppose to have only liquids for 5 days but I guess I started a day early oops but I feel better for having some protein so I wont kick my self for it. Good luck on your per-op im sorry to say, but is sucks not genna lie. But its all worth it in the end!!! Good luck on your journey!

Sorry for the late reply, but I am finally home , happy, healthy and with no regrets I am 5 days out and down 5 lb from day of surgery! I still can feel a small amount of gas in my stomach and intestine when ever I drink something but no major pain at all, im alittle sore when I move but that gets better everyday ( the main sore spot is whare my drain was, in the top left corner) The incision whare my stomach was removed does not hurt at all, cant even feel it so thats a plus .. I am drinking constantly probably reaching around 40-50 oz per day of Clear Liquids so far, I have started to drink small amount of protien drinks today and have started feeling realy good. I still have not felt hunger.. but I start to get light headed and a little dizzy when I need to put some broth in my stomach lol so I guess my body is still going to find a way to make me eat. On average I can eat about 6-8 small spoon fulls of clear broth before I need to stop for awhile. And I will usually be good for and hour or 2 before wanting some more. On a side note I have not taken any pain meds since I left the hospital dont seem to need them yet Well thats all I can think of, let me know if you have any questions ! Megan

Ralaxing in the hotel sipping beef broth, excited to be going home tomorrow Thats about it for me, ive been doing lots of sleeping sipping and walking

The anesthesia isnt bad. They put a liquid in your Iv and.... hello 4 hrs later in previous surgerys I could smell and tast the anesthesia. But not this time The whole experience so far has been great not much gas pain, walkings petty easy, ive just started drinking apple juice and its going good as long as I take small sips lol to big of one and it feels like my chest will explode have to say though that leak test was horable its tastes awful, and you have to take a couple big swallows... I stated to dry heave. Not a fun experience

Hello surgery is done feeling great no pain just a little sore

Sorry for the late reply, surgery went great, not much pain or gas. Just pressure in my rib cage from the drain, othwr than that I havebeen up walking everytime I can, just had a shower and new bandages put on, and then a 10am leak test so far so good feeling great!!!

Thanks lol I do have a few butterflies

And yea I am totally freaked out by going alone lol... but you only live once right

My husband and I live here alone with our daughter. So we don't have anyone to take care of her if we both went. This will be my first trip out of the country. And im not sure but I think they only do surgery on weekdays but I could be wrong ? It may take a day or so to get an Email response, they are very busy lol. I like to phone, then I always get ahold of someone right away.

Hello again! I am from Edmonton

Your doing great! 96# in 1 year, amazing keep up the good work

I am in Ab and going with Dr Louisiana Valenzuela through Mexico Bariatric Centre. It costs $4400 plus flight. I am scheduled for Sept. 8th yah.. 7 days left !! Good luck

I am having my surgery with Dr. Valenzuela through Mexico Bariatric Centre. At MI Doctor hospital. I just want this to be done already lol.. I am so prepared its getting ridicules Good luck everyone !!! 7 days left till surgery!

No I dont know anyone there. But I am trusting that everything will be fine (fingers crossed) I will be there for 4 days. I decided to leave 1 day earlier then most but my Dr thinks I should be fine since I have a lower BMI. I would rather recuperate at home in my own bed. And my mother will be flying in that night also to take care of me

Went shopping in the South Edmonton Costco and..... They now carry Premiere protein shakes... !!!! Thank god for good protein shakes lol..

Yes I am going to Mexico, I am going alone my husband and daughter will be staying home. I think it will be an interesting experience lol havent ever been on a trip alone before

I am from Edmonton Alberta. Good luck
