How can we go to mexico? Id have to buy 2 seats on the airplane. Id have to buy 2 seats back, too. Id probably end up throwing a blood clot because of not walking enuf. Plus, is ther a place on the forum to find out how other early sexually abused sleevers do with any type of wls?

I was prescribed anti-coagulant injections for a month post op plus I wore flight socks for 2 weeks post op. Anti-coagulants are really expensive in Mex so you may want to try and get those from your PCP. I was fine flying 10 hours shortly post op from Vegas to LAX then back to London (and San Diego to Vegas a few days before that).

You'd have to discuss all this with your surgeon however.

I was almost exactly plane seat size at the time of my op so I can't really advise on that I'm afraid.

It's admirable you're looking for psyche help - I haven't noticed much of that on here. Maybe someone else can chime in with some advice on that. Maybe there's a different forum out there better suited to this.

One book that was recommended by bariatric surgeon Dr Watkins is "Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever" by Dr Roger Gould. I've not read it just yet although I have purchased it. It gets good reviews on Amazon.< /span>

I just had my psych evaluation with Jeff Lorence in Charlotte last week. He was great! I hope you get this straightened out.

      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.
