I went to Tiajuana, Mexico. I flew into San Diego, CA and they picked me up from the airport and took me straight to the Hospital (Oasis Of Hope), They began labwork and ex-rays, I met with the Surgeon, the Anestistiologiest (SP?), Internal Medicine then to surgery! I stayed in the hospital for 2 nights then they take you over to the Grand Hotel (5 star hotel) for 1 or 2 nights. I was in GREAT care! Loved the doctors, nurses, ect, everyone was GREAT!!! I will be going back for cosmetic surgery. Super cheap with awesome care!!

What do you use to help prevent hair loss?

So anyone have recommendations on Shampoo/conditioner? Nioxon??

I am 6 day Post Op- I started Full Fluids TODAY. I can only get in about 25 oz of water at this point- Is there anything I can do to keep my mouth from getting so dry?

Has anyone heard of Lady Boss Protein powder?? Supposed to taste like cake

a friend of mine is doing surgery with me on the same day, she has 3 weeks pre-op and I only have 1 week, so I did the 1st week with her, just as support and too see if I can handle it! OMG!! I whined and cried (not really cried) the whole week!! I stuck to it- lost 12 lbs (she lost 17 her first week), but geez if it wasn't for creamy tomato soup, I think I would be dead right now and yes it was low fat, low carbs and low sugar but very filling!! I also couldn't wait to be able to take my gummy vitamins and chocolate calcium!! just to taste the sweets Tomorrow starts my REAL day 1! Surgery is 1 week from today! Luckily, my husband doesn't eat the foods I want and twin 5 year don't eat the things I want either. Don't make dinner of the things that you want or crave. If you are allowed to eat the 4 oz of meat and veggies then make it for everyone! I made very small pieces of chicken with sautéed onion, peppers, and mushrooms- it was very good! I make 4 oz of fliet mion (sp??) and Brussel sprouts, your family can eat chicken and steak- I only at the 4oz of meat twice. Another thing, make your protien drinks in the blender (the liquid premier tastes the best) and add strawberries or banana, a little almond milk and ice- it will bulk up that shake to more than you can drink! Its SO hot where I live, I can go get a sugar free snow cone, yum!!

I only have to do 6 days of pre-op diet and 2 days liquid. I started early (at 3 weeks pre-op) and lost 12 lbs the first week, does this dramatic weight lose stop? Surely, you don't loose 10+ lbs a week, do you?

This is a liquid vitamin machine, kinda like the coffee machines. Has anyone tried this?

I am on day 2 of Pre-op, so no more creamer or sugar. I am using Splenda or Stevia for sweetner and Almond Milk or premier protein for creamer. I preferred powder creamer. and am not happy with the taste of my coffee the last 2 days. Anyone have suggestions? I could do without sweetner all togather if I found a creamer that was good enough. Any advice? Has anyone tried the Inspire powder creamers?

Anyone try this for liquid vitamins?

I'm on day 1 and had to give up my sweet tea too!! I need to try premier protien in my coffee tomorrow- I used Almond Milk this morning.

I'm in Dallas (Kaufman actually)! But, going to Mexico. My mom had surgery a year ago- here in Dallas and was self pay.

Thank you!!

What brand tastes the best POWDER for Vanilla?

that makes sense!

Did you google it? I know green is normal

I don't feel like I am an emotional eater, more of a sugar addict and a boredom "grazer" but I would like to get some counseling just to help give this process every chance possible to get the weight off and STAY off.. but I am not sure if I am supposed to be looking for just a general counselor OR is there a specific type?

I would love to see some of your recipies! can you post some OR email them to me? amyandgreg1234@gmail.com

What is this for?

I would just go to Mexico and skip all the BS!

Why does the craving for food come back?

I am also going to start counseling, I was wondering what type of counsler I needed! I don't have "particular" issues but people say its emotional eating, so I am willing to try! I need this to work!!

Thank You!

Thank both of you for your answers, they make since!

Yes! I have been eating ALOT for the last 2 weeks! And I need to stop- I am gaining weight and I don't want any more weight to have to loose!!
