No the bitchyness makes me uncomfortable.

Whoa dude, :confused1:

I just wanted to give a friendly nudge to remind you of this post of yours from the other thread about "leaks and infections". I guess this comment about bitchyness occured when the conversation was getting a little heated.

Let's just try to give cg as much support as we do anyone else without any judgement. I'm sure she's read the stuff on here about her doc.

I wasn't trying to be bitchy at all. I was trying to be supportive by suggesting someone go with her. Mexico is a dangerous place these days, whether your having surgery or not.

Bitchy wasn't exactly the word I would use, but it sounded a little condescending. Thanks for clarifying.

cg, I do hope you're able to find a surgery buddy. If I were having surgery in Mexico I probably would be on my own too so I would definitely have to rely on the support of forum members in case any problems came up. Maybe you can find someone who is scheduled for surgery after you so they will be well enough to check on you after you're out of the OR. In turn, you could be a surgery buddy to someone who is scheduled to be in the OR before you so that you can check on them. You get the idea...:confused1:

Keep us up to date on your progress.

I made a lot of good friends instantly when I arrived. Being nervous makes people bond quickly..... there will be people just like you there.

Thanks for the look out. I have been to plenty of places on my own; Mexico included! As some of you said earlier; I thought it would be nice to meet up with someone who was having the surgery the same day...maybe I will call Sandy.

P.S. Please no scare tactics...I have already read the threads about the leaks and infections; thanks for the heads up!

Oh.... good idea. I bet Sandy could connect you with some people that will be down there when you are.

      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.
