I am very lucky I have a lower BMI (38.8) So I only have a 9 day pre-op diet.. I start next week, I know is sucks lol because I have been replacing 1-2 meals a day with protein drinks for the last week to get ready. I got major headaches the first few days but now its better. I am also trying to eat healthier like cream of wheat, salads, fruit and home made soups to get in to the habbit.. God I sure miss my ice caps and chips right now lol but its all for the best. Good luck to you too ! Ill make sure to message you right after surgery for an update.

I have the same problem, I eat when I think I want it.. And if I don't eat I think about it constantly. Its like trying to quit smoking

Hi I am also with Dr. V On Sept 8th 2014, unfortunately im am heading home sept 11 so we will miss each other But I am also going alone.. So keep in touch, I Will love to have a buddy to vent with and share the experience! !!

Hi anyone have any complacations? What was your experience?

My Dr also only asked me to stop 1 sau pre-op and 2weeks post op to help with healing. ..

Hi just wondering if anyone alse noticed that the unjury protein powder has a rely bad smell, it tastes good but the smell is not so... any ideas of how to make it better? .. Thanks

I am also a self pay going to Mexico. I booked my surgery 2 months ago and am going for surgery Sept 8. I could have gone sooner ( as in too weeks after I booked my appt there was a spot) but had to wait till I could book some time off work for recovery. The surgery cost $5000 for everything including flight. I was only asked to make sure to have an extra $500 available incase I have a hernia I need repaired during surgey. So I can be super fast you just need to plan it right

The chicken soup powder

Im going back to work after 2 weeks my jobs itnt too demanding so I think ill be ok

Your probably right.. but I havent tried them. Good luck

Hello I just had a carnations breakfast shake they are amazing whhat do you think its 150cal and 12 g protein and other things like calcium. .. Good / Bad ?

So I know that in the first 6 months or so while loosing you should stay with foods and drink under 2 grams but what about later how much is too much alot of low fat fat free and diet food and drink havw arpund 15-30 grams of sugar is thar too high ? What is a good amount that itsnt limiting 90% of the food out there?

I am also from Alberta and I am being sleeved Sept 8 with MBC ( Mexico Bariatric Centre) With Dr. Louisiana Valenzuela. My co-ordinator is Cindy they are very kind and helpful. Its $4400 inclusive with out flight. flight cost around $500. Good luck! Ill let you know how things turn out in a month!!!

Sorry to hear you had such a hard time.. I am also just about to be sleeved ita kinda scary... especially having young children at home relying on me im glad to head even through it all, you are still happy with your choice.

Im not driving home, but I will be driving to pick my mom up from the airport The day after I get home. Shes coming to take care of me lol... My husband will be away for work it might be a good idea to find someone to drive you home or take a taxi untill you have had time to relax. Better to be safe then sorry!

Im in canada and they dont sell premiere protein here and to order it online is $50 for shipping.. so not rely worth it, or I would be drinking it like crazy lol. But thank you!

Has anyone ever had any problems arise on there plane ride home from mexico after surgery?

For example I was drinking pure apple juice today wich is on my diet list and it has 15g of sugar... whare do you draw the line?

I am at a Bmi of 37.8 being sleeved in September ill let you know how I progress!!

Ill have to try it with powdered milk!!! Its sound good lol I love powdered milk... So smart

I also have the GNC lean shake but hate the tast. lol And yes they were on my Ok list with my sergon too (SF) . I just havent seen alot of people talk about them on here and Carbs are probably why. but arnt we supposd to have some carbs every day or is it a different type of carb that we should be eating?

Sorry about the typo's, when I post a new topic I cant see what im typing lol mabie its my phone
