Hi!!! I am only actually about 2 weeks away from my surgery date of Oct. 30th! I'm going to Tijuana, MX and having the surgery done by Dr. Garcia. My health insurance won't pay for WLS, so I am choosing to pay for it myself.

I'm very excited and nervous. I start my 7 day pre-op diet the 21st, so that's when I believe it will really get real.

We should definitely keep in touch!!

Yes I would love to keep in touch!!! And its so sad insurance companies will not pay and force us to go to a different country :( But I am glad you are getting it done. I would go a tad bit earlier than your surgery to enjoy the nice warm temps :) its going to get yucky here this weekend

      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.
