boomom04 1 Posted April 17, 2011 I I am having Plication surgery done in TJ, MX on April 30th. I'm starting to get nervous. Any advice? I am scheduled on the 28th in TJ. Which doctor are you going to? I haven't gotten nervous yet but I will undoubtedly be a bundle of nerves once the plane touches down in San Diego :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
genepha 47 Posted April 17, 2011 My advice would be to make sure that you have a variety of broths, Soups and Protein Drinks available to you when you return home. You may want to even take a few with you, just in case. I had surgery here in California so I'm not sure if you need something special for TJ or not. I know I posted a list previously of what to bring with you to the hospital but I'll try to remember it....chapstick, robe, slippers, hair clip, magazines, gas-x. I'll write more if I find my old post. Take care and KUP Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sure appreciate your list as I would hate to get there and kick myself for not having what I need. Any recommendations for the protein drinks and broths?

genepha 47 Posted April 18, 2011 I tried lots of different Protein drinks and most companies will send you samples for a small fee. Unjury unflavored is great to mix with chicken broth or Soups. Unjury also sells a chicken broth that I also liked. Protein drinks are very particular to each person. I tend not to like the milk based ones so I stuck mainly with Isopure (Alpine Punch and Apple Melon were my favorite). I usually add a Stevia or Crystal Light to make them more palatable. Buy some now to try and see if there is one that you like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am with you on the milk based, mainly as I tend to have lactose problems. Can you buy the Unjury at a store or is something ordered online? I'm finding myself these days having worse food cravings (I'm an emotional eater, have a bad day??? Order pizza!!!!) as I know soon it will be time to put the food pacifier away and work at eating to fuel myself instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
