That's exactly why I don't tell anyone. They don't understand and I don't have time or the patience to educate them. This journey is hard enough, don't set yourself up for the fustrations of dealing with people who don't get it.

Watched your vlogs..way to go! Ignorance is forgivable at times. Choosing to remain so is not. Hopefully your messager will take heart.

Thanks :) I was pretty perturbed when I got the message but finally realized it isn't worth the effort to remain angry

Great video - great response.

I am not telling anyone before the surgery (except my husband, of course.) I just don't feel like educatiing them. I'll take it on a case by case basis after.

Thanks. I really want others to know the real deal when it comes to traveling to Mexico for any medical procedure. I plan on showing the good, the bad and the ugly on my vlog

      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.
