Pics of tijuana if your nervous



Recommended Posts

Couldnt take pics at the border crossing (that's heavily frowned of in all countries), but here are two photos from my room at the Tijuana marroitt.

Sorry it may be blurry, blackberry isn't the best camera, but there's a beautiful club and fancy houses up the hill. The other direction looks like Los Angeles to me. And excuse my sloppy word use (working off an iPad).

I know exactly how you are feeling! Every once in awhile I think: "Maybe they (and you know who "they" are...I'm sure you have some of "them" around you) are right and I am absolutely crazy to be doing this!". But then I calm down and get back to that place deep inside of me that knows I am doing the right thing.

I most definitely have some of "them" around me. I try to tune out all the negativity but you can't help but wonder "what if they're right" and something does happen. At the end of the day it is what it is and there's no turning back now. My respiration are getting a bit faster "tad bit of anxiety" when I ponder on the thoughts to long, :)

Oh and the US Consulate is behind the Marriott. This area of Tijuana is nothing like the stereotype. Yes, that does exist, but it also exists in cities across the US.

It's actually very pretty. I'm so nervous and excited and anxious. Sometimes I start freaking out ready to cry, but then other times I know this is a good decision. It helps to have met some other sleevers on here who will be there at the same time.

I know I'm ready for this stupid liquid diet to be over. Sorry...that's my hungry anger there. I just told my youngest daughter to shut up because her voice is annoying me. WTH is wrong with me. Its gonna be a long weekend and a long week next week.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
