Anyone going to Mexico???



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I need some help. A few years ago when I was on vacation in Mexico, I bought some C-Light which we call Crystal Lite in the US. It is manufactured by Kraft Foods, but they do not sell C-Light (Clight) in the US because Americans prefer the flavors of Crystal Lite they buy here (this is what Kraft claims). C-Lite is so much better because they have flavors like Guava, tropical, coconut, lime and they are all calorie free like Crystal Lite, but really are superior because of the variety they offer in Mexico vs here. They cost 15 cents a package like you buy Koolaid in powder form and make a liter and a half.

The last batch I bought at Walmart in Cancun and I have been nursing my supply for a while. I am all out and I am miserable. If anyone is going to Tijuana or any other part of Mexico for banding or fills, I would gladly write a check to cover the postage and cost to purchase me 40-50 packages. They hardly take up any space at all in a suitcase and I cant live without them. I looked on ebay and some guy in Mexico was selling them for 5 times the regular price, so that would not be an option. If I get really desperate I might consider! LOL If anyone is willing to do this for me, I would be eternally grateful. I called Kraft Customer service and they acted like I had the plague. They claim that their products manufactured for Mexico and Latin America have different product codes and they are not able to tell me where I can buy them in the US. So please someone let me know if they are going to Mexico and I will immediately send $ .

Thanks

      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.
