I did not go to full liquid until day 20 but still struggled. I found either very hot broth or ice cold clear drinks were the most comfortable. It will take 6+ mo the before you feel "normal" drinking again, you will just need to try them all and find what works best for you. 2 years later I still drink premier protein daily.

At 1 week I was not allowed to have anything but clear liquids still. Are you following your post op?

Cash pay doctors in the US

In Reno nv you can have sleeve done for 14000. The dr says they have one of the best rates in the nation. -
My surgeon charges a 3% fee to use a credit card. I would assume most Mexico Drs are the same.
-
All the Drs accept different financing in Mexico it seems. I would research your Drs and your budget and then they will assist you with which financing options they accept. Mexicali bariatric is who my surgery is with and they accept 2 or 3 financing companies but none are care credit which most US Drs accept.
