I'm scheduled for November 7th in Mexico!! I'm excited...my Dr hasn't mentioned preop diet yet....hmmm maybe I should ask??

I would ask and if he doesn't give you one I would go on one a week before. It can only help.

OK, all of a sudden I was just reading through my post-op diet again and just realized that my surgery is one week from today! I'm really getting nervous now. Especially for the days right after the procedure. Reading the post-op info is good and bad because you hear from those who had an easy time and a hard time...I'm getting a little paranoid about the potential for throwing up with the band...I need to just calm down!

What made you choose Mexico? Do you know anyone that had the surgery there? How much is it over there?

That is my fear the throwing up part, and my band slipping.

I did allot of research on surgery. I am self pay with no insurance so $$ was a big issue. I talked to many people and read lots and lots of blogs and after all that I choose Dr Kuri for my surgeon in Mexico. The total price is $5500 which made surgery very affordable!

Try to relax. Easy for me to say, im still a week and half away... lol but each person is different. it sounded to me like the most people that threw up were the ones that didnt always chew, eat slow and refrain from drinking with meals. i know i hate to throw up, let alone with the band. Best of luck to you. Im so nervous too, excited, scared etc...

1 week from today is my surgery date Nov 2 getting nervous as well just to think it is getting so close,my Dr doesn't put you on a pre diet until 2 days before but I have chosen to do my own from some of the diets posted down 6 lbs. this week and feeling good about myself. I do fear the 1st several months post op as I fear the throwing up . I tend to eat to fast and shallow before I chew it up well, been working on this since I had my 1st appointment hope I can slow down and relax. Best of luck to you all this post has been great for me THANKS senior in Va.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
